Judges resolve many of the nation’s biggest political questions, but how do they participate in democracy as citizens? Do they vote more than others or less? Our exciting new project, "Judges as Voters (in Elections)," offers the empirical answer. 1/

@segalmr "the rise in dramatic prose from district court judges" Is this empirically true? Or just a rise in salience of dramatic prose?

This is just a guess, but maybe the rise in dramatic prose from district court judges is partly due to a growing belief among those judges that it's pointless to try to persuade SCOTUS and they must therefore focus on other potential audiences.

@TheCLBoyd The Daily Beast covered it too so it seems like someone's pushing it. The ultimate peer review it receives will be something of a test

I wanted to say so much more, but holding four years of my life was overwhelming. Bringing THE PAIN BROKERS to print involved a universe of spectacular people. These are just a few of them since X limits my character count... #BookUnboxing #AuthorLife #WritersCommunity

LSU is hiring at the assistant level in Comparative (open specialization), and two positions in Judicial Politics. CP job should post soon and judicial job is live. I’m on the CP search committee but happy to answer questions about both searches!

The ABA is considering increasing the experiential credits law students must take to graduate. However, in new research, we find that the ABA's last experiential increase did not improved bar passage rates or employment outcomes.
