abstract
I discuss and consider the status of observational determinations of the rotation velocities of white dwarf stars via asteroseismology and spectroscopy. While these observations have important implications on our understanding of the angular momentum evolution of stars in their late stages of evolution, more direct methods are sorely needed to disentangle ambiguities.

Magnetic White Dwarfs in the SDSS 100 pc Sample: Further Evidence of Two Formation Channels
A volume-limited sample of 163 magnetic white dwarfs separates into two populations, young/high-mass/strong-field and old/average-mass/weak-field, supporting two distinct formation channels.
