  1. A quotation from Jean Kerr

    OSCAR: I hate a friendly divorce. A lawyer is never entirely comfortable with a friendly divorce, any more than a good mortician wants to finish his job and then have the patient sit up on the table.

    Jean Kerr (1922–2003) American author and playwright [b. Bridget Jean Collins]
    Mary, Mary, Act 1 (1961)

  8. Der Jurist

    Kind fragt:
    "Kann die Dampflok auch neben den Gleisen fahren?"

    seufzt,

    sagt:

    "Kommt ganz darauf an..."

  10. A quotation from Lincoln

    As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client. And when you lack interest in the case the job will very likely lack skill and diligence in the performance.

    Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
    Speech (1850), Notes for a Law Lecture (fragment)

  14. Dreaming about visiting the #USA?

    Don't!

    If you're the kind of person I would respect, then either
    - Your phone will get you in trouble
    - Your wiped phone will get you in trouble
    - Your lack of phone will get you in trouble

    Forget your right to express your opinion
    Forget your right to have an opinion
    Forget human decency
    Forget human rights

    Just...

    Forget about it!

    If you were curious about my legal permission to breathe within this un-submerged Earthling solid angle,
    it's that.

    If any UK book botherers want to enlighten me, please do.
    Thank you for exactly zero legal advice in advance.

    I will not be relying on it at all. (And frankly am at non-zero chance of forgetting it soon after.)

    It is my understanding I'll maintain the same status but lapsed proof.

    It is my experience and expectation that I'll become undocumented, and therefore human scum [sic].

  16. As the #Israeli military commits unfathomable horrors in #Gaza, many #Canadians are directly assisting the #genocidal force in probable violation of the #ForeignEnlistment Act.

    #Lawyer Shane Martinez joined Talking #ForeignPolicy to discuss a #legal case he’s pursuing against #SarEl - which recruits Canadians to volunteer on Israeli military bases. Martinez also talks about the legal exceptionalism offered Canadian supporters of the Israeli #military.

  17. "In some cases, the #business might repeatedly depreciate the same asset.

    “What you do is things like, you’ve depreciated the asset in one entity, so now the basis is zero,” said Mark Luscombe, a Wolters Kluwer #tax #lawyer... “If you sold it, you’d have a big gain and you don’t have any more #depreciation. You instead sell it to a related party so you can start the depreciation all over again.”"
