Programming note: Good morning from Allentown, Pennsylvania, where today I will be participating in two appellate oral arguments before a three-judge panel of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania.

Blogging has been on a reduced pace over the past several days, because I was visiting Las Vegas from Saturday afternoon through yesterday morning. Regular blogging will resume tonight.

As always while I am traveling, more frequent appellate-related retweets will appear at this blog’s Twitter feed.
