Programming note: On Wednesday, I will be traveling to Long Beach, California, where on Thursday through Sunday I will be attending (and, on Saturday, moderating a panel at) the 2017 Appellate Judges Education Institute Summit.

As a result, additional posts will appear here late in the day on Wednesday. As always while I am traveling, additional appellate-related retweets will appear on this blog’s Twitter feed.

Programming note: After enjoying a most wonderful dinner in Pittsburgh last night with David Garrow, today I will be participating as a panelist in a Third Circuit-sponsored event titled “Judges and Journalists: Accuracy and Access” at Pittsburgh’s University Club.

Immediately following this event, I will be returning to the Philadelphia area, because tomorrow I am flying from Philadelphia to the west coast to take part in the 2017 Appellate Judges Education Institute Summit in Long Beach, California.

As a result, additional posts will not appear here until tonight. In the interim, appellate-related retweets are likely to appear on this blog’s Twitter feed. In addition, during the 2017 AJEI Summit, lots of additional appellate-related retweets will be appearing on this blog’s Twitter feed. If you don’t already follow this blog on Twitter, now would be the perfect time to do so.
