Hello #LawMastodon

Anyone have the ruling in dismissing the Tulsa Race Riot case?
I can't believe the reason the media said is accurate and I wanna see for myself.

So #LawMastodon help me out here.

If I ran a salon (because lets use stereotypes) can I now refuse service to religious folks?

Cutting hair is my expression, and the law says you can't force me to violate my beliefs & cut a bigoted assholes hair.

Or am I in trouble because its illegal to discriminate on that protect class of religious belief, that can be changed at whim or if the mega church has a water slide?

In my mind if its the latter my protection is not equal.

#LawMastodon

That in which... oh just read it.

H/T - @Ugarles on the hellsite.

THIS SATURDAY: Join us for a powerful and transformative interactive abolitionist art exhibit

We will OCCUPY a Toronto courtroom
and UPLIFT the voices of Black, Indigenous, racialized incarcerated men

The City of Toronto prioritizes carceral responses to harm, funding increased policing and prisons, despite evidence of their racist and violent nature causing more harm.

We need to shift our priorities towards community-led solutions that centre the safety and well-being of all, particularly those most impacted by structural violence.

WHEN: Saturday, April 15th,
1:30pm - 3:30pm

WHERE: Courtroom

Because misleading a Judge is ALWAYS a good idea!

Right #LawMastodon ??

Just bought my first booth ever for my law firm at a convention... I keep telling myself I only need 1 lit client or 2-3 transactional clients from the event for this to pay for itself, but, damn, this is more than I spent on all marketing last year and I still need to rent booth furnishings, get event insurance, and buy decorations and swag.

The court case is called "Glacier Northwest Inc. v. International Brotherhood of Teamsters". The first oral argument will be tomorrow, Jan 10, 2023.

@ABAesq

-- In these trying times the appearance of propriety is especially important to the credibility of our profession.

It's time to provide ENFORCEMENT mechanisms for the 'appearance of impropriety' standard to both Judges AND Lawyers.

What say you #lawmastodon ?

Just made my first ever shareholder distribution to myself from my law firm! Between that and the recent 401k deferrals and contributions I'm sort of realizing that yeah, I can do this.

After years of law firms I worked for telling me I couldn't survive on my own without them, I know for sure now that that is not true.

I can survive and maybe even thrive.

Like #StarWars? Believe in alternatives to fighting? This is the just-published book for you: “Star Wars and Conflict Resolution: There are Alternatives to Fighting” edited by Noam Ebner and @jenReynolds. Congrats to editors and contributors! #LawMastodon #lawProfs #DisputeResolution

Hey #lawtwitter or I guess #lawmastodon or whatever.

Is the discourse about "pocket pardons" as dumb as it sounds? Because it sounds pretty dumb.

Legit question for the #lawyers and #lawprofs out there in #lawmastodon Can you do an explainer on how this continues to happen?

What know you of Delba Winthrop and her dissertation from the 1970s published in 2019 by her widower, Dr. Harvey Mansfield?

Her dissertation title: Aristotle: Democracy and Political Science.

What's her reputation as a thinker? Her ideas?

I can find nothing about her other than laudits from XRWers & her husband.

"But I don’t know that it’s is criminal to take bad advice from lawyers."

What says #LawMastodon ?

This is part of Pence's defense of that one dude sending people to storm the capitol to harm him and subvert the government.

Is it criminal to take bad advice from lawyers... mainly because at this point I want to see malpractice carriers dropping Trump lawyers like flies.

Reviewing and grading my 1L's final memos this week and I literally sat straight up in bed at 4:00 this morning after a nightmare about a truly dreadful submission. Took me some time to recover from that one...

Catching up on the great new Simon Schama documentary. The second episode closed with a great line which I’ll paraphrase as follows:

The price of liberty is eternal vigilance

That is the constant narrative of my second semester constitutional law lectures.

So IANAL and I know it’s not the job of #LawTwitter or #LawMastodon to educate all us laymen, but I am seriously confused about this 303 Creative #SCOTUS case right now. What is there standing? Lorie Smith was never asked by a gay couple to create a website, so is it just that she wants to state on her website no #LGBTQ customers? What is the injury here?
