Back home after a most enjoyable visit to Washington, DC: Last night, I had the pleasure of being a panelist at a Coke Appellate Inn of Court meeting focusing on appellate blogging and #AppellateTwitter with co-panelists Kannon Shanmugan, Sean Marotta, and Jaime Santos.

I have had the pleasure of speaking to numerous appellate-related audiences over the years, but I doubt that I have ever visited a group containing more long-term and enthusiastic readers of this blog than last night’s attendees. It was my great pleasure to attend the program, see so many friends from the past, and meet plenty of new friends, some of whom also have or had a presence online. It somehow took me nearly 16 years since this blog’s creation to attend a Coke Appellate Inn meeting, but I hope to return much sooner for another visit. A photo of last night’s panel, including moderator Kelsi Brown Corkran, can be viewed at this link.

Before yesterday evening’s event, I had the pleasure of visiting Nationals Park to see the Atlanta Braves at the Washington Nationals. Here’s the view from my seat. Demonstrating the often unexpected reach of #AppellateTwitter, as a result of a reply I tweeted during my journey by train to DC, a member of the National’s off-field staff who’s an enthusiastic U.S. Supreme Court follower contacted me saying that he would be interested to meet me in-person if I had time while I was at the game. Thanks to social media and this particular individual, a behind-the-scenes tour of Nationals Park may be on the agenda during my next visit to a ballgame there.
