Jotwell is taking a short Winter break. Jotting should resume on Monday, January 5, 2026.
I and the Jotwell Student Editors — Andrew Ballenger, Stephanie Haik, and Brendan P. Ramirez — all wish our readers a happier 2026.
Jotwell carries no advertising, and we would like to keep it that way, so we would very much appreciate it if you could make a small (or, if you wish, large!) holiday donation. The University of Miami School of Law is Jotwell’s host and main supporter, but having tangible signs that our readers value us is important. Even a few dollars, or the equivalent in your currency, can matter a great deal. (Please choose “other” from the dropdown menu and then enter “Jotwell”.)
Thank you for reading, and for your support.

Jotwell is taking a short summer break. We’ll be back on Monday, August 25. However, even while we’re on break, we’ll be accepting submissions, editing them, and updating various technical parts of the site.
Meanwhile, this is good time to ask you to please help support Jotwell; your donation, however small, helps demonstrate the breadth of support for the enterprise. Also a reminder that you can subscribe to Jotwell and receive the full text of all postings either via RSS or via email.
If you like Jotwell, share — help us find more readers. Tell a friend about Jotwell. And if you are an academic reader, please consider recommending Jotwell to your students. We have a Jotwell Flyer for students that you can print out and post, or perhaps even hand out at Orientation.
See you in two weeks, when we start the new academic year.

Today is Jotwell’s 13th birthday. (Yes, it’s hard to believe, but check the Archives.) We’ll be celebrating this event for the next fortnight by running two posts a day. The second post will run weekdays in the mid-afternoon, around 3pm U.S. East Coast time.
We’ll also be celebrating by having a quiet fund-raiser. Visitors to the site will see a red banner at the bottom of the page about the double-posting, and inviting reader donations. Alas, people who get Jotwell via the RSS feed or by email will be denied that experience, although they will get any extra posts in the sections they signed up for. But there is no reason for the hundreds of people who read us via the RSS feed–or by email–to be left out.
So here’s the pitch: However you read Jotwell, please will you make a small donation to support this journal? All the faculty who write for and edit Jotwell do so for free, but even so, producing the journal is not costless: we need to pay for our server, for our student editors, and for various types of technical and design support, including keeping up with a procession of software updates. This adds up.
We don’t charge for Jotwell and we don’t run any ads, and we would like to keep it that way. If every Jotwell reader donated just $10 a year, we’d cover all of our costs…but alas not everyone is generous.
If you can afford it, please don’t be a free rider. If you like us lots–or even just some–please make a small donation? Of course, if you want to make a large one we would not say no to that either.
In any case, we thank you for reading, and look forward to another year in which we celebrate the best recent scholarship relevant to the law.
Yours sincerely,

Jotwell is taking a short summer break. We’ll be back on Monday, Sept. 5. However, even while we’re on break, we’ll be accepting submissions, editing them, and updating various technical parts of the site. In particular, we will be transitioning to a new server; in a perfect world, that transition will seem seamless to readers.
Meanwhile, this is good time to ask you to please help support Jotwell; your donation, however small, helps demonstrate the breadth of support for the enterprise.
If you like Jotwell, share — help us find more readers. Tell a friend about Jotwell. And if you are an academic reader, please consider recommending Jotwell to your students. We have a Jotwell Orientation Flyer for students that you can print out and post, or perhaps even hand out at Orientation.
