Vacation writing is NOT going well. I was working on my first piece of fiction--an adventure series set in a coal mine. But hard to come up with a larger-than-life protagonist. But I have all the miner characters.

The Council of the ABA Section of Legal Education is under serious attack. If it is to remain as the national accreditor/approver of law schools, some major reforms are needed. Here are some thoughts: prawfsblawg.com/what-should-th…

The Council of the ABA Section of Legal Education recently adopted these thoughtful core principles of accreditation. I hope they truly commit to following them, which would lead to scaling back the overreach in the Standards. americanbar.org/content/dam/ab…

The ABA has done some good things on mandatory disclosure of law school outcomes. But its substantive accreditation requirements increase student cost and administrative bloat. Here it catered to special interests. It should have a disclosure-only role in accreditation.

And the important broader point is that, after some years of increasing the flexibility in the Standards, the Council seems to be reversing course by considering more demanding mandates. Why? @derektmuller @DBRodriguez5 @jadler1969

Further, the Section seems rather fearless in its effort to implement a more radical set of requirements, at the moment when it is facing serious scrutiny for its accreditation role writ large. Curious. @derektmuller @jadler1969 @dnyellen

Is he a law professor? Or is he a jazz pianist whose new album just received a glowing review in @DownBeatMag? In the case of Juan Perea of @LoyolaLaw, he's both. Very cool.

American universities are neither without flaws, nor above criticism, but they have contributed mightily to society. Lee Bollinger makes the case powerfully. theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
