As Week 3 begins, we’re going to have some visiting bloggers who will join us, typically for a two-week window. Some of the future ones include Jennifer Collins from Wake Forest U, Daniel Solove from GW, and Trevor Morrison from Cornell, among others. The dates for these will be worked out soon.
In the meantime, I’m excited to announce the arrival of my friend Paul Horwitz on the PrawfsBlawg pages for the next two weeks. Paul is a fellow landsman from Toronto who eventually moved to the United States, first to study at Columbia’s J-school, and later to do an LLM there. We overlapped for a while in DC and discovered he was a law school classmate of my sister’s hubby. Paul now teaches in Los Angeles at Southwestern Law, where he teaches con law type classes and legal ethics.
He has two recent pieces of scholarship that are worth highlighting, both available here. The first piece rigorously applies the behavioral psychology literature to the doctrines of the First Amendment and the risks those doctrines impose, and the second is one that revisits the Grutter/Gratz cases through the prism of free speech, exploring the implications of the Court’s affirmative action cases for educational autonomy and the First Amendment. I highly recommend both.
Paul, welcome to PrawfsBlawg.
