We began helping Jill move into her new place today -- that project will continue over the weekend. Then Monday is M-Day for me -- excitement city! I also turned in my first topic proposal for a law review comment. It draws from this post on Rhode Island's weird exemption for Jews from its incest laws. Thanks, Rhode Island!

Re: your topic proposal. I think a comment that unearths how the law came about and how it was used would make a fascinating read -- it's the only instance of which I know in American law of having something like India's "personal law" where family law depends on which religion one practices.
