Just what the US needs, another liberal lawyer...

 

But seriously, congrats!  It's been a long road, but you don't need me to tell you that.

Dont scare her off. She is the first liberal seen in right wing echo chamber in months.  Maybe it could attract another one.

Maven Dear, glad to hear that you bellied up to the bar... er, metabolized what was mixed into the bar exam... uh... er...

 

You'll be a fount of knowledge and a force for good in whichever direction you apply your enviable intelligence and estimable personal drive.

 

Si, ma'am.

Hon, I only comment when I think I can spur good commentary from right and left. Because the law floats in between. I've been stupid busy leaving how to Law like a Lawyer and one of my first assignments is to write an appellate brief like NO BIG DEAL when a particular subsection of a municipal code could be struck down as unconstitutional and maybe invalidated but whatever, no pressure. 😭

Your comments are always welcome here.  Even if I don't agree with you, you usually present factual info that is good to know.  

 

Kinda like BCKing.  I miss that guy.  A tad long-winded for a forum like this, but he had some good ideas.  Too bad the mods cut off his air supply prematurely.

For an at times, egotistical self absorbed narcissist, who was not nearly as clever as he thought he was, he was not that bad of a poster. He was also extremely malleable clay, and it brought me great pleasure having the self proclaimed smartest man on the board, jump thru very predictable hoops with the most basic of pavilion stimuli. 

 

That having been said, and being the chief receipt of  his manic episodes, I agree that he was voted of the island for the most benign of reasons along with a few others. The results have been a group of people that dont really need to post, because we all agree with each other. 

 

Sorry I was out of character for a second !

 

Now where wuz I

Lets roast her a bit.... Keep it in good taste

 

There is only one profession that is distrusted more than Layers and Politicians and guess what it is ??

 

Hint:::  Someone here may do it (at least for now)

 

 

Q: What do you call a lawyer with an IQ of 100?

Q: What's the difference between a female lawyer and a pitbull?

These two words can be the entire content of your appellate brief, "brief" the controlling criterion, si Maven ma'am.

One day, part of the wall between Heaven and Hell broke down, and St. Peter called the Devil over to discuss repairs.  "The break definitely came from your side, so I think that it is up to you to fix it," said Peter.

 

"Ha!" snorted the Devil.

 

"In that case," said Peter, "I'm afraid that I'll have to sue you."

 

"Ha!" said the Devil.  "And precisely where would you expect to find a lawyer?"
