Trying to make everyone I encounter feel seen and heard. I teach @UMichLaw and represent survivors of human trafficking. She/her.

I am hearing from law students who are struggling. 1Ls disappointed with their first set of grades. 2Ls and 3Ls tired and stressed and feeling pressure to take on more.

I wish I could hug all of you and tell you not to let any of this define you. /1 Law school is a narrow echo chamber built on a scarcity mindset. Try to find ways to get outside of that echo chamber. The practice of law is full of so many opportunities, I could spend my entire career trying new things and never exhaust them all.

Abundance, not scarcity! /2

Last week @EliNSavit (our local prosecutor) announced his office will no longer prosecute consensual sex work. Since then lots of folks have been contacting me. Some are elated, others are upset and worried. I have thoughts on both. /1 First I need to stake out my own position. I have been representing survivors of sex trafficking for over a decade. I don't think the criminal justice system is the main solution for solving sex trafficking. /2
