All hail the Public Library of Science Biology the free, elitist (in the nicest possible way), peer-reviewed, open-access journal whose inaugural issue appears today. This is the future for journal publishing, especially as even libraries are being priced out of the market for journals, especially scientific ones. All materials in this web-published attack on high-priced dead tree scientific publishing will be subject to the PLoS Open-Access License which happens to be identical to the Creative Commons Attribution License

I would worry more about someone who had so many 'skills' courses they didn't know much actual law. August 24, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- If this view was ever correct, and it mostly wasn't at least since the late '80s, it certainly isn't true today. Clinics have become a much bigger part of YLS. August 24, 2026 Michael Froomkin
- The first time I read this I thought, "wait, what lawsuit concerning Natasha Cloud is in trial, and why would Emes Kanter care?" Eventually I figured out what court had jurisdiction. August 24, 2026 Michael Froomkin
