The opinion issued: it turns out, an insurance policy covering an amateur drag racing event ("Race Wars 2") does not cover an injury caused by the *cars* at the race (it's for the other risks at the event). ca5.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/2…

The Draft is a culmination of six months of scouting work from roughly a dozen scouts per team, now codified in "the Board." From my experience with Packers, now time to just "Trust the Board" and let it work. No drafting for need, needs change all the time. Trust the Board.

This is a great thing. Lucy is a real stalwart of our appellate community.
I didn't get this point when I was an associate at biglaw, but it's exactly right. Just go tell them where you'd like to be and if you can get some help. No one will be mad.

42 Followers 2 FollowingThese school theme days are getting out of hand. My two kids came home with an “ABC countdown” theme day calendar. That’s right: *26* back-to-back theme days. The kicker? Each kid’s theme days are different.
@RMFifthCircuit I had a two month sabbatical between jobs last years. I read 41 books, watched the entire Midsummer Murder series, and went to the Caribbean for two week. 10/10 best thing I have ever done for my sanity.
@RMFifthCircuit Optimistically, 7. Realistically, and knowing how distractible I can be, I’d probably start reading about 18 books and finish 3.
@RMFifthCircuit It depends 🤓 If we’re just going for number? I’d boost stats by focusing on graphic novels and novellas. That’d be, like, 30-40? Reality (in this imaginary scenario)? Maybe 7-10?
@RMFifthCircuit Could or would? I mean, I definitely would read....but I also want to finish Baldur's Gate 3.
@RMFifthCircuit With kids? Then 100, mostly Dr. Seuss and dinosaur book. Without kids? 7.
@RMFifthCircuit Raffi I have realized your question is effectively witchcraft. You have invited us to hypnotize ourselves into a vision of rest and enjoyment. Well done. We didn’t see it coming I fear
@RMFifthCircuit 7-12. I wouldn’t want to read more than one book a day, for most of the books I read, but if I decide to include popcorn books like thrillers or Regency romance, I could do more than one of those per day thank you for asking I enjoyed this exercise
Still in disbelief at how many people were interested in my tweet thread about law rather than pens or pans 🥹
Hello! Employment lawyer here. Yesterday, the FTC voted 3-2 to approve its noncompete final rule. Let's talk a little bit about it. 🧵
@RMFifthCircuit Well, it takes me an average of 2.25 hours to finish a book according to Libby, so... Probably 50+, I would say. Last time I was sick and read in bed for most of a day I finished 6 books despite sleeping a lot, so this seems doable.
@RMFifthCircuit No human could do 3792 of profl legal work in a yr. The most I ever billed in a single yr was 2700-something. That yr, my blood pressure sky rocketed. I lost 18 pounds. The skin at the corners of my eyes cracked. And I developed emotional probs that required therapy. True story
@RMFifthCircuit Am I in a coma bc this will affect my tally.
@RMFifthCircuit If I'm in the right mood I can do one and half a day.
@RMFifthCircuit @PrawfBainbridge Zero. The only way I have a week with no emails is the complete collapse of civilization, or at least the Internet. I would be planting a vegetable garden and digging a well.
@dtoddsmith My now deceased mentor used to say “If you haven’t had your ass kicked in court a few times then you haven’t been doing this for very long.” That is, of course, correct. Go win the next one.
@RMFifthCircuit One Beach Week, I blazed through 17 novels.
@RMFifthCircuit I ripped through two Jack Reacher novels per day for a couple of weeks recently. It was a treat
