It’s official! This fall, I will be an Assistant Professor at @UHLAW. I am excited to start my tenure-track journey in the city I have always called home. #gocoogs 🐾♥️

Couldn’t be more thrilled that Influencer Speech-Torts is forthcoming in @GeorgetownLJ. In it, we explore the imposition of duties on social media influencers in the context of health advice resulting in physical harm. So grateful to so many for their generous feedback & support!

@DorfmanDoron @michlawreview Congratulations!!!!!

Excited that @michlawreview will publish my new article Third-Party Accommodations! It disrupts the common narrative about the scope of the reasonable accommodations doctrine for disabled people and religious individuals while centering lived experiences. A 🧵1/8 #CripTheVote

In absence of comprehensive sex ed in schools, many teens turn to TikTok. What are they likely to find? In new manuscript in @TheHPPJournal , @_leahrfowler @hadleyssmith @lschoen3018 describe when teens "tok" about sex journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/15…

SCOOP -- The App Association brands itself as a grassroots group representing small app developers. But in reality, Apple dictates the group's positions and provides the vast majority of its funding, pouring in millions per year, former employees told me. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@profmohapatra @pzettler @tovino_stacey @nadiansawicki @cybersimplesec @jsherkow @michaelrulrich @StanLRev @LoyolaLaw So great to see everyone!

@rickweinmeyer @profmohapatra @pzettler @tovino_stacey @nadiansawicki @cybersimplesec @jsherkow @michaelrulrich @StanLRev @LoyolaLaw Truly how do you survive in such perfect outdoor dining weather? Abysmal.

@jsherkow @michaelrulrich You are too kind! Can’t wait to workshop it with you and all the other fabulous folks at Wiet on Friday!!

Texas health officials have missed a key window to complete the state’s first major updated count of pregnancy related deaths in nearly a decade, saying the findings will now be released next summer, most likely after the Legislature’s biennial session. bit.ly/3Bb0wTz

@michaelrulrich @EJAllstonEsq @rickweinmeyer Glad you could pencil me in to celebrate one accomplishment before moving on to the next.

@EJAllstonEsq @rickweinmeyer I didn’t include the celebratory dinner with @_leahrfowler on Thursday, but I assume there will be more eating and drinking than talking for that

Time to start my 72hr marathon of 2 panel talks, presenting 2 different papers at 2 workshop2, & teaching in 3 cities. I’ll cover vaccine mandates, state police power, bans on gender affirming care, femtech after Dobbs, & discussing Bruen, Kennedy, 303 creative, & Moore v Harper

@inspiredcat I am (for health apps). Also thinking about this problem from the accuracy/efficacy angle.

Friends in the #lawtwitter data privacy and security space, who is thinking (and maybe writing) about the impact of legal language (in laws, policy, etc.) and accessibility/understanding by laymen? Anyone?

Prof. @DorfmanDoron is quoted in @dallasnews story on the latest legal challenge to the Affordable Care Act involving the coverage of the HIV preventative drug PrEP. Dorfman's work on PrEP regulation has been published @BCLawReview & forth. @Cornell_L_Rev dallasnews.com/news/courts/20…

@profmohapatra @michaelrulrich @StanLRev Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you at Wiet!

@michaelrulrich and I are pleased to announce that our co-authored article, tentatively entitled Femtechnodystopia, is forthcoming in the @stanlrev.

@pzettler @michaelrulrich @StanLRev Thank you! Can’t wait to see you in Chicago!

@michaelrulrich @StanLRev @_leahrfowler Woohoo, congrats on the well-deserved good news to you both!

Our paper on the future of femtech under Dobbs will be in @StanLRev Bleak as it may be, we think it’s critical to reproductive justice moving forward. Thanks to all who looked at drafts on an intensely rapid timeline! And many thanks to my brilliant coauthor @_leahrfowler

We owe many people thanks. Our success wouldn’t be possible without the @UHLCscholarship summer WIP, @amandatwatson and the @OQuinnLawLib, and the many brilliant and generous colleagues who helped us refine our ideas on the shortest, most stressful timeline imaginable.

We welcome all feedback! An older version of the paper is on SSRN, but I am constantly updating it in the precious few weeks remaining before it enters the editing pipeline. If you’re interested, please email me for the most current draft!
