In Vermont, tenants have little recourse when their landlords dramatically raise their rents or tell them to move out of their homes. A recent campaign for “just cause eviction” seeks to change that. What motivates the campaigners and the opposition? theflaw.org/articles/just-…
SJP (systemicjustice.org) will soon be looking to hire a recent law grad for a full-time 1 (or 2-) year position. The position will include helping to create & run a new initiative--focused on reparative justice, in partnership with @Blackstarjus & @HU_TMCRC. /1

We're often asked how an organization that started off fighting forced arbitration ended up fighting to fundamentally reform the Supreme Court. The answer is that the two issues are inextricably linked: the courts have too much power, and they're using it to harm working people.
Judges have spent decades warping the Federal Arbitration Act beyond recognition, taking a statute about contract law and using it to prevent millions of people from seeking justice when they're harmed by corporations. I wrote about it for @ballsstrikes. ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics/f…
This wouldn’t have been possible without Kalpana Kotagal’s confirmation to the EEOC. Really incredible to see so many months of advocacy efforts pay off in such a big way.
Some breaking news: The EEOC has finalized the rules for the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which means pregnant workers now know exactly what new civil rights they can expect on the job. thenation.com/article/societ…

Connecticut is on the verge of passing a new law with key transparency requirements for the judicial nominating process—but legislators are also trying to reduce the role of non-lawyers in the process. PPP's @skennedy2504 on the harm that would cause: ctmirror.org/2024/04/03/ct-…
First time I've written an op-ed against my own bill 🙃 The transparency requirements in HB 5380 are so important, but they shouldn't come at the expense of reduced non-lawyer participation in the judicial nominations process. Really hope this is amended ctmirror.org/2024/04/03/ct-…
PPP's Executive Director, @molly_coleman, is in @ballsstrikes today writing about how law schools are propping up the conservative legal movement.
Why are law schools outsourcing student services to the Federalist Society? buff.ly/3PIiwg0
Maybe this is a little out there...but I feel like if going to law school is going to cost a quarter-of-a-million dollars, law schools should do their jobs instead of letting the Federalist Society do it for them? Ranted about this for @ballsstrikes. ballsandstrikes.org/legal-culture/…
