If you have never been drunk at Kams at 1pm on a Saturday, you have not lived.

@chibbqk1ng Also, the Savoya in Christopher (Franklin County) was a great Italian spot. Ate there every weekend with my grandparents and their friends when I was a young kid.

@chibbqk1ng Herrin—which is actually in southern Illinois—still has an Italian festival because of the Italian-origin coal miners.

So many Italians moved from Kentucky + West Virginia to Marseilles (Lasalle County) looking for mining work that at one point it was called Martucky. Thats why there’s a big fried chicken culture down there and it’s commonly served with “Ravs” which is local slang for tortellini.

Most people don't think of Illinois as a major coal state. But Southern Illinois has massive coal deposits and a long history w coal. The toxic legacy of coal mining is visible. This is the Will Scarlet coal mine site, sometimes also known as "Demon Waters," or "The Red Sea."

@TehWonderkitty I had a state court judge refuse to enter a voluntary nonsuit in a state where it is a plaintiff’s unilateral and unrestricted right.

Me & an ADA had to approach the bench once to try and calmly explain, like a couple of elementary school teachers, that we really did need to know his ruling on my motion to supress BEFORE we started picking the jury...
Zach@zachary_aman
State court is wild. What do you mean you will take my motion to dismiss under advisement and rule on it at trial? That defeats the purpose of the motion!

@SteelToeScribe Don’t see how MSOs can monetize the book/actual practice of law work portions of a firm absent some creative accounting which might not pass muster under state bar rules and similar restrictions.

Lawyers haaate succession. Recently saw a very senior big wig (🌧️) leave for a lesser firm. Mine wanted him to retire at 65, the other didn’t. Cue in the PE “come hither” pitch.
You don’t have to ‘surrender’ your book.
You also don’t have to lateral.
You can just sell it.

Opinion: For the first time, aging law firm owners have a succession option that doesn't require internal buyers, competitor sales, or wind-downs: Management Services Organizations, or MSOs. news.bloomberglaw.com/legal-exchange…

@apublicgood @Unlearned_Hand My Property professor said that the word “not” could be substituted for “constructive” every time we encountered the term “constructive notice.”
English
our vice dean just started a monthly essential updates newsletter and it's called "constructive notice" and if you are not a legal academic i can assure you that this is one of the funniest things you can possibly imagine
