• We imagine that some future historian of originalism will find in commentary following an announcement of Justice Scalia's an unusual opportunity to compare popular understandings of that concept with versions advanced by law professors, judges and other legal experts.  ICYM them, here is Nina Totenberg on NPR and OXY on The Liberal Yale Law Prof Who Agrees With Scalia.

• "Northwestern University and Duke University are holding a week-long workshop on Research Design for Causal Inference . . . at Northwestern Law School” on August 1-5, 2016.
