I’m arguing before the D.C. Circuit on Monday. Panel is Wilkins, Henderson, and Edwards. Accepting any/all advice and well wishes as I prepare! Here we go!

On March 20, please join me for an ABA webinar, Know Your Audience: Effective Advocacy at Every Level of Court, with 3 remarkable jurists and advocates. However and wherever you litigate, you won’t want to miss this. www.americanbar.org/events-cle/m...

Some personal news, as they say: effective today, I have been promoted to partner at MoloLamken! I am overwhelmed with gratitude, and cannot wait to build my practice in this new role, focusing on appeals, administrative law, and energy litigation. Let’s do this!

Microsoft Outlook has changed its default to something besides Calibri and I DO NOT LIKE IT. Now facing the unfortunate choice between changing my font to Calibri on purpose (ugh) and accepting that email chains will look weird, or accepting this horrible new font. Help.

IT’S GREAT TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE

That was too close for comfort!!! #GoBlue!

I keep seeing year-end retrospectives about how people survived their big law hours this year. I get it. But the real answer is just “suffering.” That’s it. Every hour you work over 2,100 is suffering. “How to get better at suffering” just isn’t as catchy as “tips and tricks for surviving big law!”

It’s good! To be! A Michigan Wolverine! #LetsGoBlue

OSU beat Penn State at home 20-10 Michigan beat Penn State in Happy Valley without their head coach on the sideline 24-15

Looking for CLE credit? Wondering what that strange acronym "PFAS" means that you’ve been seeing? On Monday, Oct. 23 at noon ET, I’m presenting on a panel entitled Understanding PFAS Regulation: An Administrative Law Primer. I hope you can make it! www.americanbar.org/events-cle/m...

Today I had the honor of moderating a panel on the Supreme Court’s energy docket (& related cases) at the Energy Bar Association’s Mid-Year Forum. My first ever moderation gig! It was a joy, and the panelists knocked it out of the park. Saw old friends, made new ones, and learned a lot. A great day.

This was one of the best things clerking for the federal judiciary did for my social media habits. When you go years not being allowed to have public opinions on anything, you stop feeling the peer pressure to post as performance. I can feel deeply, strongly, without adding a scream to the void.

I think one of the worst quirks of online spaces is the idea that if someone doesn't post about something, they don't care about it. It encourages performative posting often makes things worse. I care a lot. I just don't want to add another poorly-informed voice. I'm reading & thinking.
