    “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 Ambrose Bierce

    DICE, n. Small polka-dotted cubes of ivory, constructed like a lawyer to lie on any side, but commonly on the wrong one.

    Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?) American writer and journalist
    “Dice,” “Devil’s Dictionary” column, San Francisco Wasp (1882-03-24)

  3. Boosts appreciated!

    I have some dear friends who are looking for a family court #lawyer who practices in NY (Orange County) to assist with an immediate need pertaining to guardianship of minors. If anyone has recommendations, I would appreciate them deeply!

  4. A quotation from Ben Franklin

    Honest Men often go to Law for their Right; when Wise Men would sit down with the Wrong, supposing the first Loss least. In some Countries the Course of the Courts is so tedious, and the Expence so high, that the Remedy, Justice, is worse than, Injustice, the Disease. In my Travels I once saw a Sign call’d The Two Men at Law; One of them was painted on one Side, in a melancholy Posture, all in Rags, with this Scroll, I have lost my Cause. The other was drawn capering for Joy, on the other Side, with these Words, I have gain’d my Suit; but he was stark naked.

    Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) American statesman, scientist, philosopher, aphorist
    Poor Richard (1742 ed.)

  5. literally what the fuck does this even mean?

    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].

  6. The #Michigan activists are part of an expansive web of grass-roots groups that formed after #Trump’s attempt to overturn his defeat in 2020. The groups have made mass #VoterChallenges a top priority this #election year, spurred on by a fmr Trump #lawyer, #CletaMitchell, & True the Vote, a #vote-monitoring group w/a long history of spreading #misinformation.
