The final tally. Thank you, Georgia!

I am truly fortunate to have such a wonderful and supportive @orangetheory community.

@SonnyMarchbanks Thank you. I really appreciate it.

@JudgeDillard I was deeply saddened to hear about your mother passing. The pain of losing a mom is a heavy burden, and it is something I understand all too well since losing mine a few years ago. I am holding you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

We held a brief burial ceremony for my mother this afternoon. The marker is on her parents’ plot, as she wanted. Requiescat in pace, mama.

I hope all of you have a wonderful and relaxing weekend. And as always, please be good to each other.

Everyone’s walking a different path here, finding their people, chasing their goals, and becoming who they’re meant to be. Each story looks different, but they all share the same sense of belonging to something bigger. That’s Samford. 🤍 #ChooseSamford #SamfordUniversity

It’s always good to be back home.

I am pleased to see that, 14 years after its publication, "A Theory of Law" continues to generate a body of responses and debate that advances the jurisprudential conversation. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

“This university campus is the nation’s most beautiful.” Fixed the headline for you, @aldotcom.

Flashback to earlier this month. Always an honor to join @JudgeDillard and @MercerLAWSchool - and bonus to be with Justice Verda Colvin

I’m an all-in @DukeMBB Duke basketball fan - but hats off to the gutsy, excellent Siena team.

@LisaBEzell Jack was a kind soul, a great American, and a cherished friend. He’ll be dearly missed.

Forever grateful I met Jack Park early in my career. A talented lawyer, a patriot, a man of faith, and a mentor and friend to many. God bless him and his family. fedsoc.org/commentary/fed…

"Judges' objection [to using social media] strikes me as merely an unpersuasive appeal to tradition — a tradition that, quite frankly, comes across to many citizens as deeply rooted in elitism, arrogance & entitlement." 🎯🎯🎯
