Silver Gavel Award 2024 Winner for Books is Shielded by @JCSchwartzProf. She will be honored at #ABAAnnual on August 3. Add to your reading list #ForAll @ABAPres short.url/aBcXyZ
The lawsuit against @NorthwesternLaw contains racist & vicious allegations against scholars I have learned from in many ways.Because I have been lucky to be @MyriamGilles10's colleague for 17 years,let me join @klevine02 in speaking specifically to the claims about Myriam. 1/4
.@MyriamGilles10 who is targeted by the pathetic racist Northwestern screed is far and away the overall most talented law professor I have ever come across. She is among the most well respected civil procedure scholars in the country. Moreover, almost every year 1/4
@MyriamGilles10's teaching is extraordinary, as her students will attest. And her service to the law school and the legal community writ large would be hard for anyone to match. She has taught me everything about how to do my job. @CardozoLaw will miss her immeasurably. 3/4
The @NorthwesternLaw suit seems to have been supported by some inside the law school, people who will soon call @MyriamGilles10 a colleague and learn exactly what she brings to the enterprise. My hope is that they come to regret whatever role they played in this trash. 4/4

SCOTUS’ decision in Tyler v. Hennepin County will get attention for the Court’s rejection of the County’s substantive claim about the limits of the Takings Cause. But let’s not overlook that the Court also rejected the County’s extreme argument about pleading doctrine.1/5
Taken to its logical extreme, this would require plaintiffs not only to allege facts that established their own claims, but also allege facts that would negate every plausible defense. This would be a disaster for civil rights plaintiffs in particular. 4/5
Far too generous words from @JCSchwartzProf (author of "Shielded" which you can find here bit.ly/ShieldedBook). And thanks to @adamliptak for bringing attention to my @CalifLRev article which you can find here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.…. Let me add a few other thoughts. 1/4

Second, bc we know that change at the federal level will be slow, if it happens at all, let's not forget that state legislatures can address #QI (and other barriers to civil rights litigation) themselves, as @JCSchwartzProf and Jim Pfander and I have addressed in other work. 3/4
Here in New York, @RJackson_NYC
and @PamelaHunter128 have introduced legislation to #EndQualifiedImmunity. Follow @endqiny to be updated on those efforts. 4/4
With @CHWlawfirm very proud to have worked on this settlement for people wrongfully held in restrictive confinement in NY City jails: nytimes.com/2023/04/19/nyreg…
Thrilled to be joining @saharazizlaw at this event. Many thanks to #NYU #Muslim #Law Students Association @ICNYU @NYUMSA @HarvardIslamic for putting it together.
Join us on April 19th at "Challenging #Civil Procedure: The Impact of #Iqbal" w @aar718 and @saharazizlaw Hosted by #NYU #Muslim #Law Students Association @ICNYU @NYUMSA @HarvardIslamic
I appreciate J. Willett amplifying the arguments in the article. Wish it were an opinion denying QI though. And even if CA5 can’t discard QI on its own, it can revisit some of its quirky precedent. E.g., it’s an affirmative defense - why put the burden of disproving it on plffs?
Alex Reinert @aar718’s terrific work cited extensively in Judge Willett’s qualified immunity analysis here! @CardozoLaw #FacultyWithImpact
