Legal Commentary

Dear Friends,

I am reappearing in the bloggosphere after a while of silence. Dan, Ethan and all our prawfs friends have been patient and kind enough to allow me a sort of leave (are there formal sabbaticals for bloggers?) in a year of baby, tenure, book, travels and a million other things that don't seem as significant right now.

Natalie Amir-Lobel was born about nine weeks ago and all is going wonderfully well. Seems like third child is a bit easier, to those of you considering it. I saw some of you at AALS last week and others at LSA two weeks ago. Both conferences were short travels for me, without baby but with pump. Life is interesting with three little ones, that's for sure. Next week we are all traveling to Israel and Europe for a large part of the summer. I am excited about spending time again with my fabulous colleagues at Tel-Aviv University, and if you happen to be in the area, I will be giving a talk there June 24 on Innovation and Employment Intellectual Property. Here is a post about my love of Tel-Aviv. I will post soon about my research plans for the summer and about the Europe travels.
