Off to San Diego for AALS

I will be traveling on Tuesday to San Diego to attend the annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools, returning on the overnight flight on Sunday.  Although I'll be taking my laptop and an aircard, I won't have much time for posting things, so this blog may go a bit quiet this week.

I did want to say that I thought President-Elect Obama's decision to select Elena Kagan as Solicitor General was brilliant.  She's just the one to restore that office to the kind of stature it used to have before excessive politics undermined its credibility.  This is a big loss for Harvard Law School, but she's done the things that had to be done to revive the place and set it on a good course, and the selection of a good successor is in competent hands.
