Everyone can discover in #SaintJoseph a man who goes unnoticed, a man whose daily presence is discreet and hidden, an intercessor, a support, and a guide in difficult moments.

37% of American attorneys self-report substance abuse problems and 11% say they've considered suicide. And that's pre-pandemic! Please remember -- We are adversaries, not enemies. Reach out to suffering colleagues. It may form a lifelong friendship... or save a life.

.@BolchJudicial develops new trauma education curriculum for NC judges. Training focused on the science of trauma, the trauma movement in NC, and applying trauma skills from the bench. bit.ly/2WB1gBb

Prof. @marinklevy says a lack of in-person interactions between judges may be contributing to sharper language in opinions and dissents. "From a legitimacy perspective, the concern is that these dissents can read as the court airing out its dirty laundry." bit.ly/2WFY3QR
And, North Carolina’s Chief District Court Judges get to celebrate this milestone with Director Jacobson, as we complete our current leadership training this week at the School of Government, earning our MPA’s as well, I’m assuming. @uncsog

The MPA program is so excited to have Willow Jacobson be our next MPA Director! She will begin her role in September and will be the first woman to hold the position. We are so excited to see how great our program becomes under Dr. Jacobson's leadership.
Oops! Citation failure. AND, I went down a serious rabbit hole trying to find a way to cite a Jerry Seinfeld quote in the Bluebook. So, the quotation below is from Jerry Seinfeld, Seinfeld, Season 4: The Visa. That’s an F for me, but an A for Seinfeld, J.
“[A] lawyer is basically the person that knows the rules of the country. We're all throwing the dice, playing the game, moving our pieces around the board, but if there's a problem, the lawyer is the only person that has actually read the inside of the top of the box.”
Anyway, thanks for this thread, I’m very glad to know about Charles Edward Clark. We are all in his debt.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to participate in a pilot training on ACEs last Friday sponsored by @nccourts and the @BolchJudicial. Great substantive information, and also, a window into new (to me) evaluation methods for training.
Task Force on ACEs-Informed Courts holds first meeting today. "The Task Force is eager to begin the work that we anticipate will produce positive outcomes for our children and our communities," said Chief Justice Newby. Learn more:

“Diversity and inclusion cannot rely simply on the pedigree of the diploma from a particular school. It requires us to reach out proactively (and) invite more people to the table,” said U.S. District Judge Michael McShane of the District of Oregon. at.law.com/1myiEW?cmp=share_…

Being Christian is not first of all a doctrine or a moral ideal; it is a living relationship with the Risen Lord. #GospelOfTheDay
Forswear fomenting fomite fear
"Hygiene theater carries with it an immense opportunity cost. Too many institutions spend scarce funds or sacrifice scarce resources to do microbial battle against fomites that don’t pose a real threat,"@DKThomp writes: on.theatln.tc/WnyATDt

It's National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week! This week we honor those who are the first to answer the call for help. We are so thankful for their hard work and dedication to keeping us all safe. Shout out to State Capitol Police, @NCSHP & @NCEmergency telecommunicators.
