Every lawyer in the thread: /raises hand

That's what happens when you skip leg infrastructure day week.

uncertainty?

Just the tip of July.

I thought they announced they were extending the releases into July.

Detroit?

"Well, I had a Harley, but I sold to to a buddy for $250." B/R Lawyer: rubs temples

I really don't tend to approach any two cases in exactly the same way. I mean, I have, but my process is extremely flexible. Ultimately, there's that time-honored, syllogistic formula. But within it, it's somewhere between dancing and a Swiss watch mechanism.

Not SIAP

No. I'm not a Trump lawyer or a judge. And politically, you and I align. I've worked in the judiciary for more than two decades, and in my little swath of the world, it is not corrupt and it is not political when it comes down to brass tacks. If it were, I wouldn't have made a career as a civil-servant attorney in that branch of government. It's not that I don't agree that parts of the system are fucked up and need fixing. But the notions you espouse so often involve the entirety of the judicial system's being fucked up and corrupt. And that broad, false generality is, whether intentional, a direct attack on me and people like me who do what I do, are in this for the right reasons, and work hard to make sure things are done fairly and impartially. And there are a lot of us with the same motivations. That's not to say we always get it right. But that's the goal 100% of the time where I am. And the reason I do what I do is because I saw parts of the system that didn't seem fair and found a way to put myself in a position to, in some small part, make sure things are fair. TLDR, we might agree on quite a few things. But every time you paint your diatribes with such broad strokes, it just comes off as noise---all zeros; no ones. And thanks for ruining Austin, Tech Bro! See? Generalities, right? You probably didn't ruin all of Austin.

Let's be clear, I'm not shaming him if he lives in his mom's basement and demands meatloaf whilst unemployed. I'm just curious what utopian profession he is in that he can shit on mine like he's trying to win best colonoscopy prep. Because it must be a model of perfection. And I'm guessing it isn't since he's dodged the question so thoroughly.

You can milk anything with nipples, Greg.

Wow, she really won handily. /stole that

Kind of out of nowhere, but this album is chock full of earworms. Here are two:

Here's you and Georgio in the rumpus room.

Other than the whole good versus evil angle, the cases aren't remotely similar in facts and emotions. Jones went after their murdered children. I don't think it's out of the question to suspect we've got a Fred Goldman-type among the plaintiff's who will make it his life's work to keep Jones flinching at shadows for the rest of his life.

Or we could just use it to talk shit about aggy . . . while aggy sends us money because . . . infowars.

You might want to offer it at a discount in the cord cutting thread. They can be used to pay for YouTube TV subscriptions.

Well, the bulk of my experience before changing the course on my career was in defending an entity in a multi-million dollar, post-judgment, fraudulent transfer case against an individual who allegedly controlled that entity. So my previous statement was based on limited, anecdotal experience. It also formed my opinion of being a trial lawyer and made me appreciate every moment of every day that I no longer am a litigator. Those were some wild, formative years to be a mid-20-something layer, working for a solo without much of a net. Quite a crucible.

We were just discussing that mechanisms exist for removal. I don't think anyone is suggesting that it might happen. Quite the opposite, in fact.

Thanks. I have a small role as a cog in a relatively small part of the system. But I quickly took note of exactly what was a big problem in the system as a young lawyer, and instead of chasing the big bucks, I found something I enjoyed that put me in a position to do the right thing to correct the problem within the system when it arose. So when people like Trump or Captainant make broad generalizations about whole-cloth unfairness of the system, not only do I recognize it as not a universal truth, but I also take personal offense on my behalf and on behalf of all the people I know within the system who are doing everything they can to do the right thing. A great many of us take our role in the system seriously and with a great amount of pride in doing what's right. It's also why I'm curious about the utopian industry in which he plies his trade.

As to my other question, not a shepherd. Got it. Some of us are doing our best to uphold the system from within. Every fucking day. For decades.

It's been a while, but I remember a time when it was never too difficult to find a collection lawyer. They might not be the "best lawyers," but some of them still can root through the garbage.
