It appears that one of the officers that shoved and gave a serious head wound to this peaceful protester name is AARON TORGALSKI of the BUFFALO, NY POLICE DEPT. Send tweet to this address for the Buffalo Police. This is criminal assault. @BPDAlerts

This is mind boggling. You’d think that something with good intentions would have a positive outcome. But when biases and internal prejudices come into play, that’s not always the case. There may be more proactive ways to give people equal opportunities than just banning a box
LexBlog@LexBlog

The federal "ban the box" law meant to increase employment for people with criminal records has the opposite effect. Evidence shows after such laws are passed, black men and minorities get fewer job callbacks, and white applicants get more. buff.ly/2O1atv1 @HuntonAK

“Our regulation of law practice unnecessarily impedes innovation by excessively limiting who can participate in legal service.” Extremely excited to see the launch of this blog by @ralphbaxter. The passion in his first post is palpable!
LexBlog@LexBlog

Longtime @Orrick chair and industry innovator @ralphbaxter has launched an exciting new blog called "Legal Services Today." In his first post he explains the reasons legal services are lagging behind and how we can move toward "a better way." buff.ly/2s33da5

@bobambrogi @LexBlog That's fair. I'm interested in tracking down constitutional law scholars & recruiting them to the network/start blogging. The impeachment hearings are 100% in the realm of "timely and relevant" news that LexBlog aims to highlight–coverage we are sorely lacking at the moment.

@Ms_MelissaL @LexBlog I'm seeing some impeachment commentary from legal bloggers, mostly law profs, but I think others aren't writing about it because it's so far off their areas of focus.
