University of Miami Law Professor Under Fire From Students Over Support for Trump

Cancel culture is far too prevalent in higher education, particularly as it pertains to support for President Trump. At the University of Miami, a law professor named Daniel Ravicher is coming under fire for tweets he wrote on election night and since.
While you were focused on The Atlantic, Trump dealt a devastating blow to Critical Race Theorists

Everyone has been focused for the past two days on the story in The Atlantic, attributed to anonymous sources, about things Trump supposedly said about troops two years ago, something so far that every person who has gone on record has denied. While you were focused on that Crisis News Cycle,...
Prof. Jonathan Turley: “legal case for impeachment is not just woefully inadequate, but in some respects, dangerous”

Today was perhaps the biggest farce yet in the impeachment saga. Two of the law professors called by the Democrats (Pamela Karlin and Noah Feldman) were so over-the-top partisan and political, that they buried whatever legal points they were making. The third law professor called by Democrats, Michael Gerhardt, was not...

Disregard law professors’ letter opposing Kavanaugh on temperament – It’s political, not legal principles

Hundreds of law professors have signed a letter calling Brett Kavanaugh disqualified for the Supreme Court because of the temperament he displayed at the Senate hearing on September 27, 2018, with regard to alleged sexual misconduct.
The letter, with original signatories as of October 1, 2018, ...
The demonization of Alan Dershowitz

One of the things that struck me about this article excoriating Alan Dershowitz for his recent defense (not support, but defense) of Trump is that author Elie Mystal doesn’t actually engage in any detail with the substance of Dershowitz’s arguments.
Mystal’s attack on Dershowitz (and Trump, for that matter) is ad hominem....
USC law professor Michael Simkovic’s absurd attack on me for defending campus free speech

Brian Leiter’s Law School Reports website, run by U. Chicago law professor Brian Leiter, isn’t a high traffic site, but it does have a following among people interested in the law professor profession.
So it is not surprising that some Legal Insurrection readers also read Leiter’s website. Several of those readers contacted...

DePaul Law Prof Under Fire for Using N-Word in Legal Lecture Hypothetical
DePaul University law professor Donald Hermann recently used the n-word in a lecture. He wasn’t trying to insult anyone and he didn’t direct the word at a person. He was making up a hypothetical case, in other words, teaching law. Now he is under attack.
Students Demand Denunciation and Investigation of Professors: 1966 China or 2017 U. Penn?

Increasingly, campus “social justice” activism is resembling the tactics of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, particularly the public shaming of those deemed ideologically incorrect, including professors.
In The new Cultural Revolution on Campuses in late April 2017, I reviewed recent examples, including Yale, Cornell, Middlebury and Claremont McKenna:

Radical law profs lose vote on ruining sex by imposing “affirmative consent” legal standard

We recently reported that some law professors of the American Law Institute wanted to expand the concept of sexual consent in a way which would make it easier to define people as criminals.
The proposals were outrageous and would have put people at risk of being legally guilty of rape even if...
Meet the Law Professors Who Want to Ruin Sex
Sexual consent laws on college campuses are already reaching absurd levels, but if the American Law Institute has its way and loosens the concepts of consent, it will easier to accuse participants of crimes.

Legal Group Weighs Radical Expansion of Sex Crimes
Imagine the following case:...
The Legal Case for Israel’s ‘Settlements’

Most people around the world firmly hold to the view that Israel’s residential housing communities built in Judea and Samaria/the West Bank are “illegal”.
For years, this fictitious claim has fed a wild campaign of incitement and ‘lawfare’ against Israel, based on the myth that Jews have no legal right to live...
A moving tribute to Antonin Scalia from … Stephen Colbert

I don’t normally watch Stephen Colbert on the Late Show.
Somehow, it turned up on my TV last night. I’m not even sure I could replicate the error.
When I heard him turn to the topic of Antonin Scalia I thought, oh boy, here we go.
But I was so pleasantly surprised. Colbert told...
