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.

For years, I’ve tried (and failed nearly every time) to explain that the judicial branch of government was just as corrupt — if not more than — the other branches of govt. I’m relieved I no longer have to explain myself.
This is undisputed.

At 40 I was a 2L law student in the middle of a pandemic. At 41 I took and failed the bar exam. Passed the bar at 42 and started my dream career then. First time talking to a judge in a court was earlier this year at 43. Helped win a case the next month! Never too late. ❤️

24K Followers 818 Following Supreme Court reporter for @blaw. Mom, runner... nerd. RT ≠ endorsement. Co-host of #CasesPod. #SCOTUSQuick legal tip I can’t believe I have to give: Don’t talk to cops other than giving your name. Ask if you’re free to leave. If yes, leave. If no, say you want a lawyer and that you’re exercising your right to remain silent. You can’t beat the ride. Maybe you can beat the rap.
Quick tip that I can't believe I have to give: if your former employer files a lawsuit against you, consult with an attorney immediately even if the claims are false and "ridiculous." It won't just go away.
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.
This is really important. Remote proceedings help to contain costs. I’ve always been in favor of remote proceedings, especially for status hearings or routine matters. Even motion hearings are well-suited for remote proceedings.
Time for remote docket! Today I will hear 20 cases in four counties that, if held in person, would take 8 hours of driving over 3 or 4 days. Instead, litigants/lawyers have the option of appearing remotely, and as a result we will do a week's worth of settings in a single day.

@Atticus59914029 @crisistalker Then you haven’t been paying attention for over 20 years. The differences between “justice” doled out by Fulton, DeKalb, and Cobb alone is enough to demonstrate there is no “justice for all”.
@JCamachoLegal So, so sad. We’ve discussed over on LinkedIn how it’s a conditioning we have bc “there wasn’t room for more than one” for so long.
@420AttyChicago Well there's the obvious, of course
I love airport lounges because the non-lawyer business people always have these loud one way conversations you can tell immediately will result in litigation.
@KSVesq I stg they’re the only reason I stay on FB at this point 🔥
@KSVesq I’ve long thought we should give a lawyer mom a shot at the presidency. Stuff would get DONE.
Instead of the logic games section of the LSAT, they should just have a section where you have to set a meeting for people in more than 3 different time zones.
I was genuinely not aware that people said this as, like, an affectation? until recently It is 100% part of the vocab of the average southern person
@iplitigate Same. I don’t like it though because I disagree that a drug or burglary conviction from 7 years ago should be relevant at all when my client is in no way shape or form at fault for a collision.
Being allowed to bring up past criminal history in a civil case is ridiculous. Once someone has done their time, why should it be brought up in an injury related claim? The answer is it shouldn’t. All prejudice, no probative value.
@crisistalker Thank you for this. Means more than you know. I’m 34 and turning 35 when I will be attending law school. The age, non-traditional factor has been eating at me. This is exactly what I needed to see, so thank you and wish you all the best.
