Exactly. There'll never be enough #legalaid, #probono or private #lawyers to bridge the #justicegap. So the very act of saying "go get a lawyer" or "only #attorneys have #authority" in the #justice system is an act of class warfare, intentional or not. #wherestheoutrage #NoPlanB
Rohan Pavuluri@RPavuluri

Telling low-income people to "go get a lawyer" when they obviously cannot afford one is the same as Marie Antoinette saying "let them eat cake." It makes no sense, and it's deeply out of touch. But it's the status quo for poor people who show up to courts on their own today.

@inspiredcat This scene is being repeated in small town America, over and over again. We need to set aside our usual pursuits, thinking "it can't happen here" It can. It is. Local governments and schoolboards. Not just governors and state legislatures.

I have been mostly embarrassed by the behavior of this candidate and her supporters, but now I am genuinely frightened. I hope voters recognize the danger we are in and re-elect Ken Moore This is not Franklin. This behavior does not represent the people who live here. link 👇

Happening Now: Oregon Supreme Court considers a supervised pathway to law licensure. Whatever the decision today, THIS is an example of a court truly engaged in self-regulation, w/out delegatory outsourcing. It's OUR profession. WE should dictate the requirements for entry.

AND the solutions we've crafted over the past 100+ years to meet people's legal needs are woefully imperfect and inadequate. Disturbingly so. That we as a profession refuse to make any changes absent proof that such changes result in perfect outcomes is absolutely rage-inducing.

@primnimproper_ I don't know you, but you are a friend of @inspiredcat so you must be a good human being. I could say I'm sorry for your loss (and I am) but I really want to mirror back to you that the way your mother passed sucks. Unimaginably. Unfathomably. Inconsolably.

We haven't even had a real, informed debate yet. We have one side being asked to prove the negative and collecting the small amount of data we can while the other is sharing their feelings about an economic (not ethics) restriction rooted in assumption. news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-p…

It's Friday, I'll go harder. When the UT sandbox launched, "non-lawyer" co-ownership ⬇️50% was classified Low Risk and ⬆️50% was Low/Moderate Risk. Today, ABS structures are classified Low Risk. Why has that changed? *Data has entered the chat* *Feelings have left the chat*
Natalie Anne Knowlton@natalalleycat

Here we go again with all-or-nothing thinking. The medical profession’s experience with PE ownership should be a guide for developing *better* models of co-ownership in the law. And not mentioned here (of course) is the data on these models in UT and AZ. abovethelaw.com/2023/08/thankf…

Because the Center is the future of its relevance. And, this is exactly why the organization will continue to deny reality by replacing leaders committed to serving people with leaders who are committed to serving lawyers. Sad.

And, if at this moment in time, the ABA dismantles its Center for Innovation, whether officially or effectively through budget cuts? There is not a desert in the land big enough to hold the hubris-swollen collective head of this organization. It needs the Center.
