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.
Per @jessicavalenti Idaho made its first so-called "abortion trafficking" arrest. The mother and son were charged with multiple felonies for driving his girlfriend to a clinic in Oregon.
udge Linda Hidalgo announced that she will be taking a leave of absence from work to obtain treatment for depression. As someone how has experienced depression, I know how difficult it is to discuss it openly when you are in the midst of an depressive episode. Yet, she did. I hope her statement will encourage others to seek help.
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 #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!
Yesterday, Costello behaved so atrociously on the witness stand that Juan Merchan cleared the courtroom to admonish him & the defense attorneys. Costello is due back on the stand
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.
My Dad deserved better, in last moments alive. I'm fighting for justice & my fuel is my everlasting love for my Dad. #Saanich#police & #SaanichCouncil employers must be held accountable for failures towards longtime Saanich residents. We didn't deserve #AntiMasker cops invading our home without legal causes.
“Dude I can’t believe this freaking indictment and I haven’t even read anything, I’m just looking at the counts” - my #lawyer husband reading today’s #Trump#indictment
#Introduction
Hi Mastodon. I work for #OpenAccess to research in all fields and regions. Formerly directed the Harvard Office for Scholarly Communication. Now semi-retired but still working for the cause.
I know and respect the fact that people have widely divergent opinions about the importance of lawyers in the U.S., but I will say this - knowing that (at least some of) the Justices of the U.S. Supreme Court can be bought off makes being a #lawyer in the U.S. something I'm far less proud of than I used to be. I'm no longer able to say with any sincerity that we are a country that respects the Rule of #Law. I really hope that at some point in the future I can say that again...
i dont understand why the government of the state of texas wont take care of its own people much less the disgusting, gleefully murderous attitude towards immigrants, the lifeblood of america. you should support @TexasObserver and their unflinching bravery in the face of incredible adversity
