For those of you who were facebook friends with me prior to August 21, 2009, you will recall that I was somewhat of an obsessive blogger (that may actually be an understatement). Contemporaneously with the start of my clerkship, I took a one month hiatus from blogging to reconsider my options. That hiatus is now up. Enter my new blog.

This blog is purely a selfish forum for gratuitous self-promotion for my fledgling legal career. I’ll promote articles I’m working on, liveblog conferences I attend, comment on interesting cases I read, and keep everyone apprised of my (hopeful) ascendancy to the ivory towers of legal academia, and beyond. Hopefully, others may enjoy it as well, and check it out once in a while.

After tinkering around with this blog for a few days, I have finally decided to bring it live. Some stuff is under construction. Other stuff should work right away. I make no warranties regarding the spelling, grammar, usage, or veracity of any of the posts. I will initially leave comments on, and encourage people to provide feedback. But all are admonished to draw near; there is no First Amendment on this blog. The First Amendment only applies to state action. I am not a state actor. Rather, I am the sole tyrannical dictator of this forum. Caveat Emptor. (And for those of you who recognize the phrase “admonished to draw near,” you spend as much time at the Supreme Court as I do.)

On that happy note, welcome, and see you around.
