Got a copy of this treasure from the SG's office from many years ago. drive.google.com/file/d/12To…
I know I’m biased, but it really is an amazing opportunity. Nothing but working on Supreme Court cases and teaching students how to do it.
Exciting new opportunity for #appellatetwitter
@unc_law is starting a fellowship program for our Supreme Court program
Come to Chapel Hill to work with our amazing students & practice before the US Supreme Court!

Editors, the length of law review articles is mostly on you. My 2 cents: Be skeptical of long submissions. If it *has* to be long, okay. But law review authors have been known strategically bury their point in an endless sea of pages. That's not a good thing. Don't reward that.
Most fair game of SCOTUS trivia I’ve ever played.
I had a wonderfully laugh-filled time recording @IJ’s #SCOTUS term preview at @unc_law with the law school’s Dean @AndyHessick and old friend (and President and CEO of @FedSoc) Sheldon Gilbert! @ShortCircuit_IJ #SupremeCourt

Really enjoying the @ShortCircuit_IJ Supreme Court preview here at @unc_law featuring @JustinPearsonIJ @AndyHessick and @SheldonGilbert
SCOTUS’s recent standing decisions (diamond gutierrez) address standing when the remedy doesn’t undo the harm. The reason for the cases is that the injury in fact test is relatively new. Now that the court has fully adopted it, it needs to adjust the rest of standing doctrine.
The court keeps charging down the path it set out for itself for standing law. Redressability is now satisfied if commonsense says that relief is predicable instead of speculative. No well-defined test here. Redressability turns on vibes about the possible effects.
Per the discussion that the 22d amendment has a loophole for vice presidents: the constitution has lots of loopholes. The one in the 22d is not particularly big compared to some of the others.
What are the worst legal doctrines--with "worst" defined in no particular way?
The intelligible principle doctrine gets my vote this morning. "You can't legislate, full stop---except we will let you legislate"
Standing again! The Supreme Court Program @unc_law filed an amicus yesterday, arguing that redressability should be significantly reworked. supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/2…
Anything that Woolhandler says on standing is must read material. Her standing work is deservedly often cited by the Court.
Just posted on @ssrn: Private Injuries and Standing, by my colleague Ann Woolhandler papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.… @UVALaw @CassSunstein @AndyHessick @WilliamBaude @elizabeth_beske
It was such a pleasure to work with the @UChiLRev editors. They were so careful and thorough, and made the article much better!
In their Article, @michaelmorley11 and @AndyHessick call for the abandonment, or at least serious modification, of associational standing.
I don’t think we should get rid of the constitution. But I definitely don’t think it set up the stable constitutional system we have today.
Stability has come in large part from what are arguably amendments wrought by the court.
HRC president Kelley Robinson reportedly rejected the Founders’ “little piece of paper.” Before “reimagining” our way out of the most stable constitutional system in history, we may want to consider how alternatives have been doing around the world.
