Programming Note: Off to AEI

American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research AEI Abovethelaw Above the Law blog.jpgWe’re going to be offline for a few hours. If anything big happens while we’re gone, and we don’t write about it immediately, now you know why. (Posts that we drafted earlier will be published while we’re gone.)

We’re going to attend this event, about the economics of internet advertising — which, of course, is what pays the bills around here. If you enjoy reading ATL, please support our advertisers.

Yes, the event is sponsored by AEI, a right-of-center think tank. But the topic isn’t terribly partisan.

American Constitution Society for Law and Policy ACS Abovethelaw Above the Law blog.jpgAnd to atone for this visit to the premises of AEI, guess what? We’re going to spend the better part of two days later this month (July 27-28) covering the 2007 ACS National Convention, here in DC. If you’d like to attend, it’s not too late to register; you can do so by clicking here.

(If you’re planning to attend the ACS convention, look out for us — we’ll be easy to spot. We’ll be snapping photographs of the fabulous Judge Marsha Berzon, as if she were Angelina Jolie on the red carpet.)

Update (2:30 PM): We’re back. Today’s event was co-sponsored by the left-leaning Brookings Institution, so our conscience is clear.

ACS is great. The convention schedule looks very promising.

Perhaps Judge Berzon will forgive you for spreading spurious gossip about her.

Or perhaps her bodyguards will rough you up and smash your camera, and a future ATL post will have a picture where you can barely make out Judge Berzon's arm in the corner of the frame, and the rest of the frame is filled with someone's hand.

I support ACS, but they'll never be as successful as the Federalist Society.

Liberals just aren't as good at conspiring as conservatives.

The ACS Convention? Do people even go to such a thing?

I know that the Fed Soc needs to have meetings in order to make the requisite annual sacrifices to Nino. But isn't any meeting of the HLS (or YLS or SLS) faculty a de facto ACS Convention?

I thought it was an ACS convention whenever the 9th Circuit heard arguments en banc.

Heh. Lat, you are such a right-wing tool it's not funny.

But at least you're a right-wing tool who likes catty gossip about legal divas...

What is the point of ACS. Are there not enough left wing legal groups. Isn't the faculty of every law school a left wing convention. Why are you going to such a boring convention.

Are question marks against your religion?
