1. Congrats to Judge Wilson for being recognized by the Green Bag for exemplary legal writing for his dissent in U.S. v. Vail-Balon (en banc).
2. It's only a matter of time before Judge Rosenbaum is also recognized. Although this opinion From Monday is unsigned, it sure looks like she wrote it. From the conclusion of this pro-se litigation about 1983 suits: "We conclude that Heck and its progeny, including Balisok, do not bar this lawsuit. On the contrary, Dyer requires that the suit be allowed to proceed through the threshold gates of Heck. We therefore vacate the judgment of the District Court and remand for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion."
3. The Federal Bar is putting together this timely symposium on sexual harassment in the workplace. The panel, moderated by Celeste Higgins, includes: Honorable United States Magistrate Lauren Fleischer Louis, J.J. Piskadlo Jr., Legislative Assistant to Senator Lauren F. Book, Robert Weisberg from EEOC Miami, Grissel Seijo from Restaurant Brands International, and John Byrne, Esq., partner at Leon Cosgrove, LLP. When: Thursday, May 17, 2018, 11:30am – 1:30pm Register here.

Ironic. A congratulatory comment about skillful legal writing that misspells the name of the case.
ReplyDeleteUnsigned opinion, no oral argument? Written by a staff attorney.
ReplyDeleteI'm a big fan of good writing, but the supposedly "witty" one-liners like "through the threshold gates of Heck" dont do it for me. In fact, quite the opposite.
