I've been waiting for a knowledgeable explanation of the Lindsey Clancy murder trial (the mother who killed her three children). Professor Rubenfeld explains the case in the context of Massachusetts law. This is a very important contribution to the national debate.
A lot of people have been asking me what went wrong with the Clancy case. Here’s my take—Massachusetts insanity law is the problem. m.youtube.com/watch?v=I20N86…

I rarely discuss non-#agathachristie books, but feel compelled to recommend @amychua 's 1st crime novel "The Golden Gate" (2023). It's the best modern fiction book I've read this year + she's read all Agatha Christie's books & was inspired by her & her ilk to write a mystery.

Thanks, @amychua — few things are more fun than getting together with a couple of old friends you’ve known since your early 20’s — and talking about cannibalism!
Had the best time last night on a panel at B&N with my old friends @adamscohen and Judge Paul Engelmayer discussing Adam Cohen’s magnificent new page turner, Captain’s Dinner. Standing room only!

For all you law students out there, do you want to REALLY understand Marbury v. Madison? Lots of people get it wrong. If you’re curious, check out Part 1 of my new Straight Down the Middle episode on Marbury, the most important case in constitutional law. m.youtube.com/watch?v=7_ZC3t…

On top of everything else, nationwide injunctions are staggeringly partisan. Of the 64 nationwide injunctions issued by district judges during Trump’s first term, 92% came from Democratic-appointed judges. Of the 14 against Biden, 100% were granted by Republican-appointed judges.
Judges are issuing orders that block government policies from taking effect anywhere in the country. Jed Rubenfeld explains what to do about them. thefp.com/p/the-legal-trick-…
