    “Are You a Lawyer?” by Duane Anderson

    She asked if I was a lawyer
    because she said I looked like one,
    but I told her no,
    not knowing if I was just given
    a compliment or an insult, not knowing
    if I was standing at the doorstop
    of good versus evil?

    I should have returned the favor,
    and asked just how familiar
    was she with lawyers.
    Had she been jailed multiple times,
    requiring their talents to get her out?
    A question never asked, an answer never given,
    but life continued on for each of us.

  2. He's going to pay his #maga #insurrectionists out of his new #AntiWeaponizationFund using #taxpayer #money.

    But he's not paying them for the #Jan6 storming of the #US #Capitol back in 2021.

    This is the down payment for storming the Capitol immediately after the November #Midterm #Elections *this* year.

    He's paying people to come back and finish the job they started five years ago.

  3. Back in 2018, Beaver Lake Cree filed for an #AdvancedCostOrder - #ACO - to secure funds from #Alberta and #Canada in order to continue accessing #justice for their #TreatyRights case, a case which will protect their people and territory from further expansion of the Alberta #TarSands and other #ResourceExtraction industries if successful. But, the cost of litigation for a case this momentous was more than the #FirstNation could front. That’s where the ACO comes in.

    After six years, and reaching the #SupremeCourt of Canada ( #SCC ) — #BeaverLakeCree Nation will now receive $1.5 million annually from Alberta to continue their Treaty rights case!

    The decision for a yearly contribution is a welcome relief, allowing the Beaver Lake #Cree Nation to move their case forwards while managing costs across their community needs.

  4. #Appellate Nibs

    Today kicks off what will be a weekly series of short appellate practice tips offered for fun and conversation, mostly aimed at the newer #lawyer and #lawstudent crowd, as well as practice-oriented #lawprofs. Many will concern #legalwriting or #oralargument. Some will be more general thoughts on #law practice.

    Quick Notes:

    (1) My work is chiefly in the Oregon state appellate courts and in the 9th Circuit. Rules of practice vary. So will your experience, so please chime in!
