If you're a law professor interested in the lateral market, your first step should be to post an up-to-date CV on your faculty website. Appointments committees wanting to know more about you will look there, and an out-of-date CV is really unhelpful.

Important decision from the 10th Circuit on computer searches, suggesting new limits on the scope of computer search and seizure—at least in the CA10. And not only new limits, but no QI, at least in the 2-1 majority's view. ca10.uscourts.gov/sites/ca10… #N There's a ton going on here, but brief recap: Police get warrant to enter home & search for evidence (including computers) of protester who attempted to assault officer during protest, arguing that there was likely evidence of the assault in the home, including on the protester's phone—and that could have been transferred to other computers in the protester's home. First warrant just allows seizure; second allows search; third allows obtaining contents Facebook account. No charges are ultimately filed, and the protester sues. Tenth Circuit, 2-1, holds: 1) No QI for officer as to the first warrant, as even if there was arguable PC as to cell phone, there wasn't even arguable PC to seize the bulk of the computers seized.
