@LesterTate Have fun! My brother and nephew are there, too.

Pregaming for tomorrow with my fellow Yellow Jackets in Dublin!

@DietCoke_Esq The Venn diagram of clients who are mean/disrespectful/yell-y and clients who I terminate is a perfect circle.

#lawtwitter what’s the best way to communicate to mean clients that you are a person with feelings

@Mayreu2 @strowhiro I’ve leaned into that a few times, cheerfully. I ask them to come with me to the kitchen so they can make their own individual cup, because “surely you wouldn’t trust opposing counsel to prepare your drinks, amirite?” It totally confuses them, bless their hearts.

@strowhiro Or EVEN WHEN they know you’re an attorney asking you to get their coffee! 🙄

Shoutout to all the female attorneys who have ever been mistaken for secretaries or court reporters

@BrandonLBradfor Why does a "very large billion dollar company" require its employees to bring a "partner" to help with inventory? Spouses and children perform the (unpaid?) work. HR and legal should take that seriously, too.

Flirting is one thing. It happens, crushes happen, people are people, I don't mind that. Could not care less. Reaching out behind my back to talk shit? Getting their contact by sifting my personnel files?!?!? Absolutely not.

A toothful declaration.

@JustJoshinNH After one date: "Reader, I married him."

Uh fall in love probably

@legallyypink That’s sweet. You are well loved.

Now that “Twitter” will be known as “X”. What should we call “Tweeting”?

"Wisconsin, Michigan, could go for Barbie, could go for Oppenheimer. Nolan’s always done well in the Midwest but a lot of people there loved Little Women. On the East Coast, New York favoring Oppenheimer, his home state, no surprise there, Pennsylvania too close to call…"

This is the story of 25-year-old Carlethia “Carlee” Nichole Russell who was recently abducted and is currently considered missing in Alabama. Please share and spread awareness. Carlee stopped her car to help a stranded toddler on the side of the road when it's assumed she was abducted. I will be adding to the thread with more info.

Best advice for new attorneys? 1. Don't talk without a conflict check: "I cannot discuss this with you at this pool party. I want to protect privilege. Please send info to my work email." 2. Engagement letter. 3. Replenishable retainer. 4. No pro bono for rich people.

@keithdamort @jkosseff You “need” to know if someone isn’t drinking alcohol because they are in recovery from alcohol use disorder, on certain medications, religious, pregnant, breastfeeding, trying to get pregnant, don’t want to risk a DUI? You may want to rethink your needs.

I’m headed to Chicago kid-free next weekend and I’ll have some free time. What should I do?? 🤗

so much of being a lawyer is like “It is well established that elevator buttons are fun to push.” See Burt v. Jubilant, Inc., 426 F.2d 472, 476 (2d Cir. 2017) (“this Court agrees that button-pushing meets the second prong of the fun test”); but see Otis, Inc. v. Sprout, 319 F.3d—
