“Justice Ginsburg on Public Interest Law: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg talked about her life and legal career at an event hosted by Equal Justice Works in Arlington, Virginia.” C-SPAN has posted this video online of an event from earlier today.

“Erasing AUSA John Wortmann”: At his “Simple Justice” blog, Scott H. Greenfield has this post about amendments the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit made last month to an opinion issued in August 2017.

I have a feeling these changes are not something that a Ninth Circuit panel on which Circuit Judge Alex Kozinski was serving would have approved. Moreover, it is rather odd that these sort of changes were made via a so-called “Errata Sheet.”

My earlier coverage of yesterday’s Ninth Circuit ruling can be accessed here.

Next week — plenty of traveling, lots of CLE credits: On Monday, I will be traveling to Pittsburgh, where on Tuesday I will be a panelist at a Third Circuit-sponsored event titled “Judges and Journalists: Accuracy and Access.” As Matthew Stiegler has noted at his “CA3blog,” “3 Third Circuit judges will speak at Judges and Journalists program in Pittsburgh.” The cost to attend the event is free, although there is a small fee if you wish to receive Pennsylvania CLE credit for attending. In order to attend, you must RSVP via this link.

After returning home from Pittsburgh late Tuesday, on Wednesday I will be flying cross-country to Los Angeles, where midday on Thursday the 2017 Appellate Judges Education Institute Summit gets underway in Long Beach, California. I consider this to be the nation’s premier annual appellate-related CLE event. Apparently one can still sign-up to attend via this link (scroll down). If attending the 2017 AJEI Summit just because I think you should isn’t motivation enough, then do it for Justice Brian M. Hoffstadt of California’s 2nd District Court of Appeal. He is the event’s lead organizer.

If you are a “How Appealing” reader who will be attending either event and happen to see this guy (caution, Twitter profile pic ahead), please do say hello.

“Ames Moot Court Finals: Fall 1998.” Harvard Law School is currently celebrating its bicentennial, and — perhaps in connection with that celebration — the law school’s YouTube channel has been updated with more than three decades’ worth of videos from Ames Moot Court Finals.

I’m sure that the videos contain many amazing jurists presiding and many about-to-be-superstars of the profession arguing. I don’t have time to take an in-depth look at all of the videos, but the video of the Fall 1998 Finals features an even more youthful looking Kannon K. Shanmugam, who was obviously already well on his way to becoming an excellent appellate advocate.

“How many Harvard law school grads does it take to make a Supreme Court?” Robert Barnes of The Washington Post has this entertaining report.
