The Failures of Others | Cambridge University Press & Assessment
My book is finally out open access,dealing w arguments from failure, i.e. when institutions act in legally problematic ways because others have failed to do their job. It is comparative & should be interesting (I hope), even if it doesn't hold all the answers. www.cambridge.org/se/universit...

Microsoft Drops Simpson Thacher & Bartlett Law Firm from a Case
The tech giant instead engaged a firm that is fighting the president’s executive orders, Jenner & Block, in a sign that those firms can still attract clients.
Microsoft has dropped a law firm that settled with the Trump administration in favor of one that is fighting the president’s executive orders, in a sign that those firms can still attract clients.

A Sunday thought
Friends,
"It’s possible that future generations will look back on this scourge and see something else — not just what was destroyed but also what was born."
All should read Robert Reich @rbreich.bsky.social for insights and inspiration i these dark times.

Blame Canada
Our warmongering, drugged-out conspiracy theory
"War with Canada is what Trump seems to have in mind. Fentanyl is not the only the big lie. That Canada does not really exist is the other. ...The imperialist rhetoric has to be seen for what it is, which is preparation not just for trade war but for war itself." snyder.substack.com/p/the-absurd...
