@ArianeTodes Knew is putting it high. I went to see him a few times hunting for a small viola and will never forget the privilege.

@reclaim_esther @MatinaStevis @bxlbinder Thank you!

@MatinaStevis @bxlbinder .@mayaejlester without a doubt. Not only she successfully plead the most important landmark cases at the CJEU on this, she did it at the beginning of her career. Someone I'd be legit scared if she'd be retained by some of the present and future targets of the sanctions.
