I’m sympathetic to a broad view about what counts as religion. But it should be applied consistently. Helping the poor is religious conduct when religiously motivated. If you’re serious about religious freedom for all, then so, too, are decisions about whether to have children.

An excellent review by Matt Bodie of James Nelson’s forthcoming The Yale Law Journal article on religious accommodation in the workplace after the Court’s decision in Groff. Bodie is right — this piece deserves to be widely read. worklaw.jotwell.com/moving-beyond-…

It’s impossible to capture in this space all you’ve accomplished as a coach, mentor, friend, colleague, & UVA legend. So for now, I will simply say thank you, Tony Bennett, for 15 incredible seasons and 15 years of memories. We have been blessed by your presence. Virginia Men's Basketball

It was a joyous day today with Justice Breyer’s remarks at the building ceremony for the Karsh Institute of Democracy, UVA Karsh Institute of Democracy. And then suddenly, it was also a very sad one. Here’s to new beginnings UVA.

Three of the lead investigators behind the Mueller report who teach a class at #UVALaw, including Aaron Zebley ’96, have written a new book about their experiences, with proceeds going toward Karsh Center for Law and Democracy. law.virginia.edu/news/202410/bu…
