Fred Jacob The Green Bag This is great! Early in my time at Crowell and Moring editing a document that Rosemary Collyer and I worked on, I added the periods to NLRB. She told me I was wrong. I told her I was right according to the Bluebook. Her reply: 'do you want to be a labor lawyer? Do it this way!'

One hit wonder. What was it?

My new essay, Even the Federal Government Can't Beat the Bluebook, is forthcoming (very soon!) in The Green Bag. Dare to read how the NLRB tried to take on the Bluebook and lost--but then maybe won? #newlawreviewarticles

The Green Bag remains my favorite publication 👏

The Autumn 2023 issue of the Green Bag is -- at long last! -- now entering the mail. Everyone ought to read at least some of it, of course (greenbag.org/archive/green_…), but Extravagant subscribers in particular might want to riffle through all the pages.

Learned something interesting in Tessa Dysart's The Green Bag piece on Roman numerals for front matter in briefs: Some state courts have prohibited their use!

The Green Bag sent me this Supreme Court Slugger card for Oliver Wendell Holmes but without an old timey baseball pic of him so I asked an AI to create one and I think it came out pretty good!

In the mail, finally! greenbag.org/Extravagance/E…

Available to buy from today. It’s about little books by big names and so much more!

Justice Holmes will enter the mail soon, en route to the Green Bag's extravagant subscribers, along with Re-readings volume 8.

Beau J. Baumann There’s a good piece in The Green Bag Summer 2023 that I thought answered some of the court’s questions better than the advocates, about how courts can assume—and congress can reassign to the executive—the ability to resolve genuine ambiguity just like w/ other common-law powers

We take a look back The Green Bag Exemplary Legal Writing Books selected by Femi Cadmus Yale Law Library and Ariel Scotese D'Angelo Law Library. bit.ly/4aGxPia Stay tuned for books selected through the end of last year with guest selector Nicholas Mignanelli !

'The Musgrave Ritual' (I'm a sucker for a treasure hunt with a dash of history.)

Need a gift for someone who loves law (or likes it, or maybe is just a bit interested)? How about a Green Bag subscription?* It's cheap and easy (shorturl.at/npvKR) and you can print a gift card (shorturl.at/jlmEF). *Challenge coin not incl. We gave 'em away already.

There are people who do it for the love of it, and also love to nerd out together. See, e.g. The Green Bag The Green Bag , which is near and dear to my heart.

But there are different tradeoffs when you're a student.

A perfect gift for anyone who took the great Professor Tom Bergin at U VA Law for Property: 'The fox is now a pelt on Pierson's Post!'

The perfect thing for the property law scholar-enthusiast on your holiday gift list might be a 'Pierson v. Post' picture book and dog-(or fox)-bites-hunter adventure story: greenbag.org/green_bag_pres…
