Welcome radio listeners, Chicago Daily Law Bulletin readers
I’ll be appearing this morning on KARN in Little Rock, Ark., WRVA in Richmond, Va., and WTIC in New Haven/Hartford, Ct., to discuss my New York Daily News op-ed on McDonald’s and Campbell’s changes in their food line-ups following pressure from nutritional crusaders in public office. And I was quoted by reporter Jerry Crimmins July 22 in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin on accreditation of law schools and lawyer oversupply (“ABA responds to senator’s criticisms,” subscriber paywall).

Ron Smith show this morning; C-SPAN video
I’m set to join Ron Smith this morning at 10:35 a.m. on Baltimore’s WBAL to discuss the federal government’s role in food and nutrition. And C-SPAN has posted the video of my Monday appearance on “Washington Journal” on the same subject. More in my new post at Cato at Liberty.
The “pie chart that doesn’t want you to eat pie.”
I’ve got a new opinion piece up at the Daily Caller on the USDA’s new nutritional chart. And tune in to C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” on Monday morning at 8:30 a.m. Eastern when I’m scheduled to be a guest on this subject.

New TV legal drama’s protagonist: a mediator
“It’s refreshing to find a show that can demonstrate to litigation-happy America that it’s possible, even desirable, to amicably resolve disputes without going to court.” [Radley Balko, Reason, on USA Network’s “Fairly Legal”] More: Abnormal Use interview with show creator Michael Sardo (via its update).
C-SPAN2 “BookTV” this weekend
C-SPAN2’s popular “BookTV” has had my Schools for Misrule presentation in rotation in recent weeks and will be airing it again Saturday night/Sunday morning, specifically 1:30 a.m. Sunday Eastern Time. (Although their blurb erroneously identifies me as being with the Manhattan Institute, I’ve been with Cato for more than a year now.) You can buy the book here.
Federalist Society podcast on Schools for Misrule
Just out: one of the most serious and wide-ranging podcasts yet on my new book, Schools for Misrule: Legal Academia and an Overlawyered America. I’m interviewed by James Haynes of the Society’s Professional Responsibility & Legal Education Practice Group Executive Committee and Baltimore Federalist Society Lawyers Chapter. It’s 53:25 minutes in length and you can listen here. Thanks also to the 100+ Facebook users so far who’ve “liked” the podcast.
Schools for Misrule roundup: Chronicle of Higher Ed, NBN podcast
At his Chronicle of Higher Education blog, Peter Wood of the National Association of Scholars takes a look at ideologically adventurous law school clinics and has this to say along the way (another version):
The hard-left politicization of law schools is surely the larger matter. Walter Olson’s new book, Schools for Misrule: Legal Academia and an Overlawyered America, covers the matter so well that I don’t see much to add.
Hudson Institute scholar Tevi Troy interviewed me 
for the New Books in Public Policy podcast series and you can listen to the results here. Also online now is my appearance on Ronn Owens’ San Francisco-based radio show last month. And this recent Nielsen roundup of Hardcover Law bestsellers had Schools for Misrule at #9, down from #8 the week before.
