An associate set his status to out of office for his honeymoon. His auto-reply said he would have no access to email. I found this philosophically fascinating. I emailed him a 300-page lease agreement and asked for high-level thoughts by noon. I knew he had cell service in Cabo. The Wi-Fi at the Four Seasons is famously robust. At 11:45 AM, I saw the little green dot appear next to his name on Teams. A document with his initials attached hit my inbox 10 minutes later. He apologized for the delay, citing a snorkeling excursion. I didn't reply to thank him. I just removed his auto-reply privileges in the IT portal. Marriage is a partnership, but so is this firm. Only one of them requires a buy-in.

Just received some tragic news: a PD in a jurisdiction where I do a lot of work died overnight. Dude MAY have been 32 at the oldest. He was in the middle of trial & didn't show up for closings this morning. So very sad. Do NOT let your job stress you. #LawTwitter

The NPA confirms that, following years of investigation and legal processes, a decision has been taken to prosecute individuals implicated in the tragic deaths of mental healthcare users during the #LifeEsidimeni transfers.

They’re killing lawyers for doing their job! RIP to the lady that passed on earlier today whilst heading to the CCMA for a matter. We hope law enforcement will arrest the suspects speedily! Start with the notice of set down & identify the parties involved.

We are very close to this. We have around 260 judges for a population of around 64 million. 40 of those are purely appellate judges. Judges are severely overworked and underpaid.

Dikeledi Magadzi was an excellent MEC for agriculture in Limpopo. She went beyond saying that she had an open door policy - when farmers needed her, she was immediately available, helpful and she could get things done. While fighting Foot&Mouth disease she often served at the road blocks with us, coordinating police, SANDF, traffic officials, commandos and farmers associations to monitor the transport of animals and meat. She joined Limpopo farmers to Mozambique to negotiate land leases. Condolences to her family. She was a great leader who could put party politics aside and focus on the job

😭😭 I love this country so much! 🤣🤣

In South Africa this signal means the complete opposite

Today, over 8,000 candidates are sitting for the #AspirantProsecutorProgramme exam in various clusters across the country. The Aspirant Programme is a highly sought-after internship programme by the NPA which assists law graduates in gaining practical prosecutorial experience.

We ought to have a conversation about banks issuing summons and obtaining defaults where the debt has prescribed. I'm getting tired of rescission applications and the prejudice it causes consumers.

@Bohlatse_ Would be nice if clients just pay me and leave me alone 😢🤪

Either you pay a lawyer to tell you what you can or cannot do. Or You pay a lawyer to tell you what you should have done Or You pay a lawyer to remedy the mistakes you we already made.

Viral judge Frank Caprio has passed away at 88.

"Quality is never an accident. It is always the result of intelligent effort”

Briefing junior counsel is such a wild ride. Cause why are you whatsapping me at 3am to tell me you've sent the draft 😆 I love junior counsel so much ♥️

A lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.
