Parents and Children
From today's SEC v. Moraes (excerpted in this post), written by Judge Ronnie Abrams (S.D.N.Y.):
In the interest of full transparency, the Court notes that Romeril [a litigant in an earlier case that the court cited -EV] was represented on his petition for certiorari by Floyd Abrams, my father. Rare though it may be, occasionally we must acknowledge when our parents happen to get it right.

Professor Volokh: I really liked this one. A child giving a 'shout out' to Dad. What a great find! 🙂
Agreed. It put a smile on my face.
I was thinking more a reason to recuse.
Hints at a complicated father-son history.
Ronnie is a woman.
Ok, father and daughter, then.
It’s also possible that they simply both have a sense of humor. [Edit: Unlike me, apparently.]
One might also note the less fraught reference by Judge Baer to “filial piety”.
Alas, my father is no longer with me. But as I got older, it was amazing at how much smarter he got, from when I was a child.
My kids say the same about me. Go figure.
You stole that from Twain.
