It was great to attend the 2024 meeting of the Canadian Law & Economics Association at @UofTLaw. Lee Fennell (@UChicagoLaw) delivered an excellent keynote, and I got valuable feedback on the Judges' Chambers project I'm undertaking with @KevinLynnCope & @ccotropia.

I had a commission meeting today at the Tuckahoe Area Library in Henrico and look what I spied 👀 …. My very good friends at the @Periodpatch doing great work in the community to ensure that all 📚 visitors have access to menstrual supplies! ❤️
