This is an important piece by @greggnunziata.bsky.social and I hope it gets the attention it deserves. As I’ve said recently, I disagree with Nunziata about a great deal, and I disagree with plenty in this piece too, unsurprisingly. But I firmly believe our common ground is what matters now.

Federal appeals people, here's an insightful piece on advocacy in the Eleventh Circuit written by 2 former CA11 law clerks. It's from 2019 and I'm sure many of you have seen it already, but I only came across it today. Every circuit needs these. repository.law.miami.edu/umlr/vol73/i...
