    “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 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. …If confirmed, #EdMartin would…direct an office that prosecuted advisers to #Trump — including Martin allies #RogerStone & #MikeFlynn — as well as Dem atty Gregory B. Craig in past federal investigations into #Russia #influence ops.

    …Martin has posed a challenge for the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, not only bc of his lack of experience as a prosecutor or trial #lawyer but also bc of the volume of his statements on social media & in traditional media, & the unusual extent of his omissions.

  6. 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.

  7. #HarrisonFloyd III, a fmr 2020 #Trump campaign staffer, remains in #custody Thurs evening because he showed up to his booking w/o a #lawyer, acc/to a person w/knowledge of what took place. Unlike other #CoDefendants, he did not take up the DA’s offer to work out a #bond agreement ahead of time, meaning he could be in #jail for many days.

  12. This schmuck isn't a #lawyer, but he plays one on TV. And that's good enough for #Trump! Rather than listen to #advice from actual lawyers, he took this clown's advice, and now he's facing more than 30 #felony charges. Talk about a self-inflicted wound! Derp!
