NYU Law Review has a nice AI disclosure requirement that lets you include an optional explanation of your philosophy regarding AI use in drafting legal scholarship at the end of the document. Always happy to share my thoughts.

I wrote a short analysis of infection control strategies at World Cup 2026 amid weakened public health infrastructure in the U.S. While private organizations can certainly play a role in protecting public health, I argue that ultimately, public health data must be safeguarded as a public good.

And we’re back on SSRN! Debating Accommodations addresses extra time, malingering, the (bad) ADHD studies, and most importantly, the applicable law. Which as law profs we need to be talking about every time we have this convo. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

While I wait for @ssrn.bsky.social to put this back up happy to send you a draft of Debating Accommodations, which addresses extra time, malingering, the (bad) ADHD studies, and most importantly, the applicable law. Which as law profs we need to be talking about every time we have this convo.

Good reminder of how hard it is to access health insurance for people who are disabled by their conditions but in the waiting period for coverage for SSDI/Medicare. The mortality during the wait period for people with cancer (neoplasms) is nearly 40%. www.healthaffairs.org/doi/epdf/10....

BREAKING: The Trump admin's subpoenas against NYT reporters will be withdrawn "at this time." The court, for its part, appears to hope the government does both the necessary factual and legal work *before* coming back to court, if it does so. Fantastic work from @innercitypress.bsky.social —>

3:11 pm Buckley: The Government is prepared unilaterally to withdraw the subpoenas at this time. If under Gonzalez we find it appropriate to seek new subpoenas, we'll come to the court. Judge: Moving forward, we would have the issues that have plagued it so far

A federal judge raised questions about the government’s handling of the subpoenas, which The Times said were an attempt to intimidate the free press.

Nancy Levitt kindly provided this information to the Associate Deans Listserv. What the hell kind of academic publication system are we running here? One annual shot?

Disability and Constitutional Legitimacy is now published in the Wash L Rev. It explores how to save disability-based affirmative action and disability-based preferences thru rational basis review. Really enjoyed writing this. Had terrific student editors & RAs too. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Device bans, no matter the reason, raise the same disability fairness issues as laptop bans. Wrap disabled students into the q of what is best. Forcing PWDs into an accommodations exception is itself unfair. Ruth Colker’s laptop ban piece lays this all out: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

NEW from @gregsargent.bsky.social: it sure sounds like @ICEgov is trying to stop the witnesses to the shooting of Lorenzo Araujo from speaking out. All three of the people in the van have been kept in detention and now ICE is pressuring them all to agree to be deported. /reposted with correct name

Greg Sargent@gregsargent.bsky.social · 4w ago

NEWS --> Three men who were in the van with the victim of the ICE shooting in Texas are potential witnesses, but they're now under pressure to self-deport, a rep for the families tells me. They remain in detention even as ICE's story falters. Details in this piece: newrepublic.com/article/2129...

I've posted a draft of "Debating Accommodations," which argues for a legally accurate accommodation discussion & studies widely shared pieces arguing that there are too many. It addresses Accommodation Nation, ADHD malingering studies, bar passage rates, and more! papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.....
