    “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. 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?

  3. 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.

  4. Der Jurist

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

    Der Jurist denkt,
    seufzt,
    denkt,
    kratzt sich am Kinn,
    sagt:

    "Kommt ganz darauf an..."

  6. On 4 March 1999: #HarryBlackmun, American #lawyer, #jurist and 100th Supreme Court #Justice (1970-94) who authored the Court's opinion in Roe v. Wade, died at 90.

  7. Federal #judges move to oust #Trump stooge #LindseyHalligan as #USattorney

    Her appointment was ruled #unlawful, but she has refused to step down.

    In a pair of extraordinary moves, 2 federal judges issued #CourtOrders Tues saying they intend to remove Halligan from the helm of a key US attorney’s office in Virginia & threatening #disciplinary #sanctions for any govt #lawyer who continues to refer to her as US attorney in #legal filings.

  8. Judge slashes #lawyer’s ‘plainly excessive’ bills from over $108,000 to $34,000
    "Vijay Kumar Rai of Arbiters Inc #Law Corporation had billed tis client $108k in fees for work done over a seven-month period in 2023 before the trial even started.🤦‍♂️ The amount was slashed by District Judge Chiah Kok Khun, after te client asked te courts to assess te bills..

  9. #HenryCuellar, 66, a #lawyer, is a fmr #customs broker & #Texas secretary of state. A member of the #centrist “Blue Dogs” & New Democrat Coalition, Cuellar was first elected to the House in 2004.

    He's the only #Democrat left in #Congress who opposes #AbortionRights.

    Cuellar is a one-time co-chair of the Congressional #Azerbaijan Caucus.

    It wasn't immediately clear if the #indictment was related to the 2022 raid. The #DOJ declined to comment.

  10. John Lauro, #attorney for #Trump, blasted the federal #prosecutors’ arguments for an earlier #TrialDate in DC as “absurd” & “unfair”.
    
“This is a request for a show trial, not a speedy trial. I’m sorry, your honor; for a federal prosecutor to suggest that we could go on trial in 4 months is not only absurd, it’s a violation of the oath to do justice” #Lauro fumed.

    As Lauro’s voice rose, Judge Tanya #Chutkan sought to calm him. “Let’s take the temperature down,” she twice advised the #lawyer.

  11. New filing says a key #witness in the #Trump #ClassifiedDocuments case retracted false #testimony after retaining own #lawyer.

    A witness who was represented by a lawyer representing Trump’s 2 #CoDefendants #WaltNauta & #CarlosDeOliveira, & paid for by Trump PAC, changed his grand jury testimony after firing the lawyer & getting #IndependentCounsel.
