On the bird side, there's an appellate community I'd tag.

Who does #appellatelaw here?

This amicus brief, which was filed along with a motion to file colored pencils, was filed in the #SCOTUS recently.

https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-148/255412/20230223142237872_Supreme%20Court%20Amicus%20Brief%20pdfA.pdf

The reactions have been interesting, with quite a bit of pearl clutching, outrage for naming SCOTUS clerks individually, and other “indignities.”

The connect the dots clearly had quite a bit of thought that went into them. Enjoy!

Note to self:

When writing a brief on behalf of client in a child abuse case, there is a material difference between "soothe" and "smoothe".

Not all typos are equal.

Proof read quickly at your client's risk.

For those interested, the link is to my annotated copy of today’s opinion from the 11th Circuit, dismissing the special master appointed by Aileen Cannon on ground that she wholly wrongly took jurisdiction over the case in the first place. I’ve annotated with the aim of making the opinion, which is clearly written anyway, even more accessible to non-lawyers. #lawFedi #ruleOfLaw #11thCircuit #appellateLaw https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B7kUUWiE2RdL2opmEl_qW9zy65-PHAN-/view?usp=drivesdk

What form of schadenfreude is it, when you take glee in finding typos in "official" publications?
