Legal Commentary

FoP Scott Moss just reminded me of an unusual way to celebrate John Lennon's birthday (and mine) in glorious Boulder. See after the jump for the CFP. I won't be able to make it -- baby #2 is slated to arrive just after then and that same weekend FSU's hosting a big ol' hoe-down which I hope the public law folks can join us for -- but Wendi and I were just in Boulder with Scott this past Friday, and all I can say is: if you've not been there before, you should certainly exploit this travel opportunity attend this serious academic gathering. And if you have been there before, well, there's no need for further persuasion.
