Southern Appeal is one of my favorite blogs, and I actually sent my father a "Stare Decisis is fo' Suckas" T-shirt for Christmas one year.

Feddie was a law clerk for Judge Pryor, who wrote a wonderful editorial in the Wall Street Journal about the role of judges in society. Yesterday, a California court issued a good ruling, possibly because of the current "backlash" against activist judges (but read Pryor's editorial to compare that backlash with previous outrages).

Feddie has a good comment on what the first year of law school should be like.
