Some ~personal news~. I'm excited to share that I was elected to serve as the Chair of the @PhilaBar Association for the upcoming year and will work with our Board, dedicated staff and volunteers and members to deliver for the legal profession in Philadelphia.

Just had to pitch in and review thousands of documents and emails for a doc review project on a contract issue…and my #1 takeaway is that we have to get loads better and more efficient at finding ways to schedule conference calls. It’s like half the emails.

The most fun call to get after spending the morning )(and the holiday weekend) preparing for closing....today.

Yes. Are Philadelphia’s historic preservation regulations too strict? inquirer.com/real-estate/hi… via @PhillyInquirer

Excited to head on up to New York City for the annual Lavender Law Conference with the National @LGBTQBar Association, to join together with friends and colleagues, to regroup, and to continue carrying the torch forward on LGBTQ+ rights and advancement.

Lawyers who cited fake AI cases face some real sanctions this time: -Disqualified from the case -Ordered to provide copy of sanctions order to all clients, opposing counsel, and judge in every pending case and every attorney in their firm -Referred to state bar for discipline.

Wow, with a tied 3-3 vote the Philadelphia zoning board DENIED the special exception required to operate this comedy club, despite the support of the local neighborhood association. Painful to watch a small business dream maybe die over a zoom meeting. ocfrealty.com/naked-philly/p…

The NIMBYs, they’ve followed me to ocean city! cbsnews.com/amp/philadelph…

I’ve got two professional events today, both of which were business attire expectations last week. Today will hit 100°+ again, so thankfully both sent out emails last night advising attendees that “business casual” (or even “smart summer business casual”) is fine.

Amen. I'm just as an effective attorney wearing a polo and jeans as I am wearing a jacket or...heaven forbid...a tie. It’s not your imagination. More people are wearing jeans and sneakers to Philly offices. inquirer.com/business/workp… via @phillyinquirer

Print it. Frame it. Retire.

Gandhi told us that you must be the change you want to see in the world. I want to see a day where lawyers don't make other lawyers wear suits just because that's what lawyers wear. It's hot, and gross, and I do just as good legal work wearing a polo. #DitchTheSuits!

The @PhilaBar Ass'n Board adopted my resolution last month in defense of the Constitutional Right of Birthright Citizenship, the idea that anyone born in the United States is a citizen of the USA, as enshrined in the plain text of the US Constitution. philadelphiabar.org/?pg=ResMay25_1

As we celebrate Pride Month, we honor the diversity, strength, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.

That’s a wrap! Ecstatic to serve again with dedicated citizen-volunteers here in Philly’s 8th Ward to assist 192 voters exercise their constitutional rights to vote and determine the future of Philadelphia! Would love to see greater turnout in the future, but that’s democracy!

Can confirm. Slow day. One hour left to vote. Come out and do democracy. 55 minutes left! inquirer.com/politics/elect…

Exciting day here in Philadelphia’s 8th Ward where I have the privilege to serve as a judge of elections in the primary election again. Just 4ish more hours to vote!

Packing up my breakfast, snacks, and lunch for tomorrow to head back to the polls to serve as an elections worker in the place where it all started in Philadelphia!

Excited to watch new Summer Associate colleagues walk through the halls of @SaulEwing for the first time today. Can’t help but feel nostalgic.
