A #lawyer allied w/Trump first laid out a plot to use #FakeElectors to subvert the #2020election in a previously unknown internal campaign memo that prosecutors are portraying as a crucial link in how the Trump team’s efforts evolved into a #criminal#conspiracy.
Any #trademark#lawyers out there? Say a parent company shutters a subsidiary and pulls product from market, does the subsidiary’s mark ever become available to others? Example: Coca Cola closes Sprite and Sprite is no longer made, marketed, sold. I feel the answer is the parent can keep the mark in perpetuity, but I want that to be wrong. #law#lawfedi#lawyer#IntellectualProperty@law
Trump’s statement that Sydney Powell was not his lawyer seems to mean that (a) he cannot assert attorney client privilege and (b) he cannot assert any defense related to reliance on attorney advice.
Hey #law and #legal folks in the broader #lawfedi world. If you're on a general-interest instance and you have any desire to hop over to one geared towards legal professionals -- you have options!
His lawyer says it's unfair Eastman should have to fight #criminal charges in #Georgia w/o being able to earn money as a #lawyer to pay his #legal bills.
This is like a convicted drug dealer saying it’s unfair he can no longer sell crack because he has to pay his lawyer.
I've recently had to help a family member hire a #lawyer and it got me thinking: lawyers approach hiring a lawyer in another speciality completely differently than "civilians."
my most valuable asset is being able to poll my network for a recommendation.
and btw, women give better recommendations, quicker, and if they can't connect you with someone directly, they'll identify someone who can.
#Vancouver criminal defence #lawyer , Melanie Begalka, said she has spoken to at least three inmates who are asking for their sentences to be extended because of the #RentalCrisis .
Hi! Are you a #lawyer or other #legal professional? Cool, but also, condolences.
We here at https://esq.social want to help. We're a purpose-built #Mastodon instance to provide a home base on the #fediverse for all you looney tunes.
Join us, won't you? We're nice and we've been around for a year -- which is like a decade in fediverse time.
We also have a #Slack-like platform called #Element with about 30 folks popping in and out. I’ll put that link in the next toot.
Hey #lawyer friends. I don't know what kind of lawyer would know but is it true everywhere in the United States that police can arrest you for ordinance violations?
I mean, is it true that anywhere there's a maximum grass height ordinance a person can be arrested for not mowing their lawn?
Giuliani Won't #Testify, Despite Pledge To 'Definitively Clear' His Name By Doing So
The former Donald #Trump election #lawyer talked a big game earlier this week about taking the stand in his own defense.
As the second half of his trial kicked off this week, Giuliani had told reporters that he would “definitively clear” his name by taking the stand and proving that his lies about two #Georgia#election workers weren’t lies at all.
On another front, I am now in the process of setting up our new #thai#company together with my wife. The #lawyer is already at work. 🥰️
The name is set, the #logo and a minimal #corporate design are made (I used an #opensource font and did all the work in #inkscape), the #domain is bought and set up, the #website is in the works (with #grav) and our thai #friends are on board as shareholders as well. 😃️
Unfortunately I can't share the details yet, but I'm still really excited. 🥳️
I obviously don't understand #US#law but why is #ElonMusk allowed to sue #MediaMatters in #Texas when neither of them are there. Wouldn't a change of venue request just be a rubber stamp?
