To Kill A Mockingbird: overrated?
* Which Supreme Court justice wrote the most dissents over the last 30 or so years? The answer might surprise you. (My guesses came in second and third.)
* Does the latest constitutional challenge to Obamacare have merit? The 20 states are right on one issue and wrong on another, Ilya Somin explains.
* Ann Althouse makes the case against To Kill A Mockingbird.
* Litigation finance and class actions: two great tastes that taste great together? Professor Brian Fitzpatrick breaks it down.
* Artificial intelligence is all the rage, but what should lawyers actually look for when it comes to AI-enabled products? Daniel Lewis, co-founder of Ravel Law (now part of LexisNexis), offers his insights.
* As a new dad, I find the notion of prosecuting a parent for improper car-seat installation deeply disturbing — especially after the defendant mom lost her daughter, an already horrific punishment for that mistake.
* Has the Trump Administration drained the swamp, or made it more swampy than ever? The latter — at least if you view Biglaw partners as swamp creatures.
* Utah legislators try their hand at “Schoolhouse Rock,” and the result is… something.
* Another interesting use case for blockchain: solving IP challenges.
