Loved the opportunity to join the fabulous @profmelaniebjacobs.bsky.social as a discussant for a conversation on mental health!

So wonderful to meet you! It was great to hear more about your work. Good luck with your paper.

Thank you! Lovely to meet you and I look forward to seeing you at the AALS annual meeting. Have a great semester!

What a night! Thanks to everyone who came to the Brandeis Medal Dinner. Photos with Justice Sotomayor will come soon. But here’s a pic with very special guests: Governor Beshear; my parents, Susan and Mark, who came in from NYC; Shane; and JB!

Reminding my trans and nonbinary friends, colleagues, and students that I see you, I value you, and will continue to advocate for you. In solidarity.

Terrific to celebrate the end of the semester and the holidays with some of our wonderful University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law faculty and staff. Thank you, colleagues, for the group photo.

Quintessential NYC evening: dinner at Sardis and a show (Sunset Boulevard).

Happy Thanksgiving!

Glad you did this! But were you avoiding more holiday family time?!?! J/k

First time I went to the parade staging - fun to watch today and know the float order!

I’m grateful for our wonderful University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law staff. Photo from our third annual thank you staff breakfast.

Yes, please, would love to be included. Thank you.

Being part of the Louisville legal community is a huge perk of serving as Dean of the Brandeis School of Law. Thank you, Louisville Business First, for this recognition.

What a great day! Thankful to Rick Rausenbush for donating his great-grandfather’s (Justice Brandeis’s) robe that he wore during his tenure in SCOTUS.

Enjoyed celebrating Justice Brandeis’s birthday yesterday with his great grandson, Paul Rausenbush. Of course we needed a photo with young Louis. 😉

Loved seeing so many friends at #AALS2024!

Raise a glass tomorrow for the law students in your house! You’ve got this @louisvillelaw #Thanksgiving #Finals University of Louisville Brandeis School of Law

Today, a group of rabbis of us went to the funeral of Wadea Al-Fayoume, a six year old Muslim boy who was killed in his home by his depraved landlord because he was Palestinian and Muslim. This picture is with the imam of the mosque where the funeral was held. We met with the Imam, heard from the father, and stood with the boy's community as they mourned this horrific loss. We witnessed the pain. We expressed our shock and condemnation of the attack. We wept. I can't say that it was simple to be there. These are not simple times. But the murder of a six year old because of his faith and his identity is not complicated. It is a heinous crime. And that's why we went today. These days it really feels like the world has l These days it really feels like the world has lost its way. But I can't give up on trying, yearning,
