I went to law school thinking that I would go in-house for an Internet company. First semester I knew I was a litigator. By the end of law school I knew I wanted to do appeals.

Absolutely not. I spent my 1st summer working at an entertainment law boutique. Figured out 3d year that I wanted to be a criminal trial lawyer and pursued that for almost 10 years. Then found appeals; when I was asked to go to OLC I got back to civil law too. Life is long.
Law Twitter: Did you go to law school knowing that you wanted to have the career you got upon graduation? When did you have the "ah ha" moment when you decided you're best suited as a transactional lawyer or a litigator (or tax lawyer, regulatory lawyer, etc.)?
@SCOTUSPlaces You have a new nom de plume:
@SCOTUSPlaces @tedfrank Jack did you just for real ruin retweets on a random Tuesday morning?
@SCOTUSPlaces I’d just like to not smell weed everywhere. I don’t care if anyone wants to partake. Just keep it confined to your home.

@SCOTUSPlaces Old people do appreciate a deal on membership, so start early!
@SCOTUSPlaces @WimminsRea Was coming here to comment this It’s really hard to vote and willingly lump myself in there
@guerra_melinda @SCOTUSPlaces I was trying to avoid 35 replies of “I fold the page how should I vote” but now I’m just getting 35 replies of “if you fold this part of a slice of tree that has been bleached and processed to hell and back you are Pol Pot and I’m superior to you” lmaooooo 😂😂 humans
@SCOTUSPlaces Now I just need a case saying that tweeted views automatically represent your employer’s official views not your personal opinions
It’s official: disclaimers notwithstanding, RTs are endorsements. #appellatetwitter
I've been telling you guys that retweets are endorsements no matter what your profile says and here's the proof:
It’s so rewarding to be a part of the Appellate Inn of Court. I feel so bad for small firm lawyers who can only join Motels of Court
The holy grail: an actual confirmation that reposts are endorsements
I've been telling you guys that retweets are endorsements no matter what your profile says and here's the proof:
@SCOTUSPlaces I forget when they started. But it's been for a few years now.
@SCOTUSPlaces I'm still gonna do it. The first ever denial as moot.
If I ever get a CFR, I'm going to ask the Stanford clinic to move my admission just to throw people off the scent.
@SCOTUSPlaces I’m holding out until you share your SCOTUS practice killer sauce. That looks spicy.
