Congratulations to Professor Nicole Buonocore Porter @WM.edu Law School for winning the AALS Section on Law Professors with Disabilities and Allies' 2026 Chai Feldblum Award!

It's new book day! All of the good stuff was written by my coauthors--especially @nicolebporter.bsky.social!!

So proud of my husband, @finaldecisions.org (Bryan Lammon), who won the award for best 1L teacher at William & Mary Law School when he was a visiting professor last semester teaching civil procedure. The students asked me to surprise him by finding an excuse to get him into the building.

Finished my first year of teaching at William & Mary Law School. The 3L class does this really cool thing where they give hand-written thank you cards to every faculty member. Although I did not have a ton of 3Ls in my classes this year, I am continually impressed by their intelligence and diligence

Happy to have sent the 11th edition of our Employment Discrimination casebook—West Academic, with Roberto Corrada, Mike Selmi, and @marciamccormick.bsky.social—off to the publisher! For those who use this book, the new edition should be ready by the fall semester.

This morning, we learned that President Trump fired Board Member Gwynne Wilcox, whose Senate-confirmed term runs until 2028. This move must be called out for what it is—a frontal assault on the NLRB, its employees, workers, and the very idea of an independent civil service. 🚨

So proud of my husband! Check out his new practice/firm.

I'm thrilled to announce the creation of Final Decisions PLLC, an appellate boutique and consultancy focused on appellate jurisdiction. Through it, I hope to partner with lawyers facing complex appellate-jurisdiction issues. finaldecisions.org

On my way to #aals2025 in San Francisco. I’m looking forward to seeing old friends and colleagues and hearing great talks.

I definitely plan on reading this.

Important point of clarification from Chase Strangio: there is a history of de jure discrimination against transgender people, in terms of exclusions from the military, criminal bans on cross dressing, and other laws. (Don't forget marriage restrictions).
