University of Minnesota Law School’s Post

Join the Harvard Law School for an engaging Harvard Law Library Book Talk - "Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There" with co-author & #MRCBG affiliate Cass Sunstein! 📚 Free and open to all HUID holders in-person & online + to the public online. "Look Again: The Power of Noticing What Was Always There" “Neuroscience professor Tali Sharot and Harvard Law Professor (and presidential advisor) Cass Sunstein investigate why we stop noticing both the great and not-so-great things around us and how to “dishabituate” at the office, in the bedroom, at the store, on social media, and in the voting booth. This groundbreaking work, based on decades of research in the psychological and biological sciences, illuminates how we can reignite the sparks of joy, innovate, and recognize where improvements urgently need to be made. The key to this disruption—to seeing, feeling, and noticing again—is change. By temporarily changing your environment, changing the rules, changing the people you interact with—or even just stepping back and imagining change—you regain sensitivity, allowing you to more clearly identify the bad and more deeply appreciate the good.” https://lnkd.in/eWJNB8kN

Thrilled to share that I'll be embarking on a new academic journey this fall as I transfer to the Political Science program at UCSD, specializing in Public Law! As someone deeply passionate about understanding the dynamics of governance and the impact of law on society, I am eager to engage with faculty and fellow students who share my enthusiasm for exploring the complexities of public law. I can't wait to see where this new chapter takes me! #UCSD #PoliticalScience #PublicLaw

Join the University of St. Thomas Journal of Law & Public Policy on November 17 for its fall symposium, "Free Speech and the United States Constitution.” In a rapidly evolving digital age, the principles and boundaries of free speech are undergoing unprecedented scrutiny and adaptation. The sanctity of expression, long hailed as a cornerstone of democratic societies, is being both celebrated and questioned in contexts that our predecessors could hardly have imagined. In its fall 2023 symposium, the Journal of Law and Public Policy intends to examine the multifaceted issue of free speech, and engage with the complexities, challenges and opportunities presented by contemporary intersections of law, technology and societal norms.

The keynote speaker will be Nadine Strossen, a chaired professor emerita at New York Law School, past national President of the American Civil Liberties Union (1991-2008) and a senior fellow with the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression. Speakers and panelists will include: Kimberly Breedon Stephen Earnest Steven Green F.E. Guerra-Pujol Rachael Houston Ainslee J.-Brown Robert Kahn Amna Khalid Brittany L.

Law profs, please share with your students! I’m so excited about this series.

I appreciate that this new educational opportunity at Harvard Law School focuses not only on how AI can enhance legal practice, but also on potential pitfalls we need to consider as we explore this developing technology. #legalinnovation #lawschool #harvardlaw #artificialintelligence

In October 2023, I acquired essential skills in generative artificial intelligence and legal research through a program offered by the Center for Law and Technology, Faculty of Law, PES University. #ArtificialIntelligence #LegalResearch #ContinuousLearning

Does a law degree help further a career in politics and public policy? Many political science majors and Capitol staffers see law school as the natural next step in their careers. I don’t always agree. Here’s my standard spiel: 1️⃣ Law school—and most law practice—is not sexy constitutional and issue debates for three years. It’s rules and details and minutiae. It can be painfully tedious. Evidence. Procedure. Torts. Contracts. Property. Estates. The total opposite of policy hot topics. 2️⃣ If you’re good with #1 and you understand what you’re getting into, then becoming a lawyer—especially a practicing one—can be a massive advantage in a public policy or public service career. If you don’t first understand #1, you’ll probably get burnt out and regret it.
