It's the ocean's version of River Dance!
It's the ocean's version of River Dance!
I'm reminded of when I almost got cancelled from a CJE presentation in another state (and got chewed out by a supreme court justice for "mocking a litigant who had appeared in my court") for this tweet of the cast photo from Designing Women and Delta Burke's catchphrase. 🤷🏻♂️

Ok, this may have been tongue in cheek, but this whole thread is great ideas that I strongly support!

@JudgeFergusonTX Context for everyone else
@gsandman62 @K_NoiseWaterMD This may be a hot take, but I believe judges get back what they put out. I consider the judge's tone and treatment of the attorney to have been undignified and unprofessional. It was rude and abrupt, and irritated or not, judges speak through our rulings. 1/
Lookie there! 😸
Much Twitter-discussion today about both sides claiming victory in appellate decisions. I once handled a high profile election contest, and both sides basically gave side-by-side live courthouse interviews following my ruling, claiming victory. As a judge? We call that a WIN-WIN!
After completing trial as a trial lawyer: Nice dinner out and a cocktail. After completing trial as a trial judge: Extra large bowl of cereal on the couch catching up on Shogun.
Well, my column published this summer in @ABAYLD Magazine seems particularly relevant again. (Posted without further comment or context.)
I just discovered while filling out a case report that a young lawyer who recently tried a case in my court died in December. She had a young daughter. Treasure each day, my friends.
🎶 I'll love you for 21 years, 21 years, 21 years--plus a life in being🎵
At least it wasn't "Whereas..."
"Oh you STRENUOUSLY argue? Well in that case I guess I'll change my ruling!" #Nope #DontDoThat #WontHelp #AFewGoodMen
Excellent point! In fact, I've published two articles on this topic. The legal profession adapted and incorporated new technologies overnight. The profession needs to hold on to those improvements so as to better serve those who seek justice.

Especially given that 70+% of criminal defendants qualify as indigent and 50+% of civil litigants are self-represented. We should remember that courts serve the community, not the other way around. If the people we serve can't adequately access the system, it needs to be changed.
