How Appealing



Friday, July 21, 2006

Programming note: After Circuit Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr. delivers his remarks late this morning concluding this week’s Eighth Circuit Judicial Conference, my wife and I will be traveling home to the Philadelphia region from Brainerd, Minnesota. Additional posts will appear online this evening.

For those who are curious, the subject of next Monday’s installment of my “On Appeal” column for law.com will be “Viewing Law Blogs as a Vast Amicus Brief on the Internet.” The column is based on a portion of the remarks that I delivered yesterday at the Judicial Conference. The essay should become available online late tonight.
