Please enjoy the latest edition of Short Circuit, a weekly feature written by a bunch of people at the Institute for Justice.
Friends, 2025 marks ten years of Short Circuit. That's right, our first newsletter went out February 13, 2015, and our first podcast two weeks later. To celebrate, we're putting on a show—and hosting a party. The best part is that you're invited. It's Thursday, April 3, 2024, at 7pm at the Studio Theatre in Washington, D.C. You'll hear about how it all began, see a Short Circuit Live podcast recording, and learn about the future of the federal courts of appeals. Plus, free food and drinks. And in addition to several of us at IJ, you'll hear from retired judges Diane Wood (CA7) and Kent Jordan (CA3), Adam Liptak of The New York Times, Prof. Eugene Volokh, Dean of #AppellateTwitter Raffi Melkonian, and our old friend Clark Neily, now at Cato.
