    “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. ✨ A Little (About) Joy ✨

    Did you know I'm a lawyer? I majored in Art History at Cal and loved analytical writing so became a lawyer. I practiced law until I had kids, and found my second career as an artist in my 40s!

    What is your career journey?

  3. Concerning the legalisation of #pluginsolar in the UK, there is one question open (for us) and maybe there is a #lawyer here who can answer it:

    The UK "legalized" #pluginpv but didn't change any law concerning the right of #tenants to use it. The guidance simply says "ask your #landlord”.

    Is the use of pluginsolar now subject to the whims of the landlord or does UK law give the tenant a right to install it, as its a generally legal and regulated technical device?

  4. 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)

  5. Horse Sense
    by Kevin Ahern

    The riding academy should listen
    And avoid the urge to scoff
    Cuz they’re gonna need a lawyer
    If their business begins falling off

  7. 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.

  8. A quotation from Abraham Lincoln

    There is a vague popular belief that lawyers are necessarily dishonest. I say vague, because when we consider to what extent confidence and honors are reposed in and conferred upon lawyers by the people, it appears improbable that their impression of dishonesty is very distinct and vivid. Yet the impression is common, almost universal. Let no young man choosing the law for a calling for a moment yield to the popular belief — resolve to be honest at all events; and if in your own judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer, resolve to be honest without being a lawyer. Choose some other occupation, rather than one in the choosing of which you do, in advance, consent to be a knave.

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

  9. 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.

    Speech (1850), Notes for a Law Lecture (fragment)

  11. Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the raid. A #US #citizen, he said agents broke through his door & dragged him out in zip ties.

    Johnson said he was left #TiedUp outside the building for nearly 3 hours before agents finally let him go.

    “I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, & they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a #warrant, & I asked for a #lawyer. They never brought one.”

    This is the kind of local news we need to be paying attention to. If this bill makes it way to being a law, it could be a HUGE help to homeowners fighting against their runaway HOA Boards #realestate #homeowners #realestatelaw #lawyer #attorney

  13. STARBUCKS ACCUSED OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING

    Eight Brazilian people have decided to sue Starbucks in the United States for violating the law against human trafficking.
    Supporting them is lawyer Terry Collingsworth, who is already in a fight with other multinationals.
