Don’t throw out your Christmas tree just yet: today (6 January) is the Feast of Epiphany or “Three Kings Day”! (See also here.) For my part, I will spend the first part of the day attending a special extended session on “The Uses and Misuses of History” at the annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools in Washington, D.C. — not just any ol’ run-of-the-mill academic panel, mind you, but a four-hour marathon discussion featuring (among others) professors Jack Balkin (Yale) and Randy Barnett (Georgetown), both of whom I greatly respect and admire. Come to think of it, since most of my own scholarly work is of a historical nature, I can’t think of a better early morning Three Kings Day gift to myself. I will report back in the next day or two.
