AI has caused me to work more than ever because now there is no technological barrier between my vision and what's possible in legal work, firm operations, marketing, etc.

Today’s social media: prominent members of Congress and commentators get the holding wrong in Chatrie but “lord voldermalort” gets it exactly correct.

Before becoming a judge I had an appellate practice and this was the secret: There are an abundance of state court criminal appeals but you have to convince real people to hire and pay you, which involves marketing and operating a law firm.
Raffi, as always, is the man here. Everything he says.
Wanted to emphasize one thing, which applies to appellate lawyers and others: You need to give some consideration early in your career to the business of law. Where will you get work? How will you get it? What will it pay?

Years ago on the day before Christmas Eve, I was sitting by the fire at my in-laws' house editing a brief that was due at midnight. I did not file something quoting the Grinch, but in my heart I was feeling it.
In their opposition to expedited review in the DC Circuit, Trump's attorneys accuse Jack Smith of secretly being The Grinch.

My chemistry career began and ended with AP Chemistry. Got a 2 on the exam and I was shocked that my score was so high.
Great article that also identifies something Coach Key and I have in common. He says, "Now, I failed the hell out of chemistry." And by god I did, too! espn.com/college-football/st…

For any redirect, recross, or rebuttal, lawyers are required to say "just briefly" or "only a few questions" and then drag on for like 25 minutes incl repeating themselves twice, it's a rule that's tested on the MPRE.

The State of Georgia paid me $2,500 for each appointed criminal appeal, including murder appeals.
I don't practice appellate law, but do appeals usually cost $1.9 million?

In college I was in an org that elected its officers using a waterfall method, meaning we started with president and whoever lost could run for the next position too. So whoever lost the president vote could run for vice president, then parliamentarian, then treasurer, etc

Legal writing is making lots of notes in your draft like MORE HERE or TRANSITION and then 18 hours of writing later, reaching those notes again and just smashing that delete button.

I'm abandoning all legal content and sharing what we all need right now: Recipes for Christmas cookies

This is the best ginger molasses cookie recipe. It makes a ton. The texture is exactly what you want: a little crispy and a little chewy.

Niche, but: my no-fail DMZ strategy is to repeat on prox chat that I’m almost 40 and they should be in bed, die about 8 times and crawl a football field to my squad, and evac by driving the hummer to the LZ and running over whoever got there first as I launch it into the copter
