Law & Order and its various spinoffs have done more to erode the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, and Eighth Amendments than the Supreme Court
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?
Congratulations!

And a happy event I remember!

Were you still defending street pharmacists at the time
Ah, American Airlines!
1. Insist your bag in merely delayed and you’re rushing to file a claim when flt lands.
2. Offers 7 different excuses by my count for denying compensation
3. Denies compensation bc their “records show” a claim filed when flt landed was “not timely”

Discworld QOTD, from The Last Continent

"‘Be what?’

‘Pro-active, I think. It’s a word he’s using a lot.’

‘What does that mean?’

‘Well…in favour of activity, I suppose.’

‘Really? Dangerous. In my experience, inactivity sees you through.’"
Discworld QOTD, from Thud!

“‘Quis custodiet ipsos custodies? Your grace.’

‘I know that one,’ said Vimes. ‘Who watches the watchmen? Me, Mr Pessimal.’

‘Ah, but who watches you, your grace?’ said the inspector, with a brief smile.

‘I do that too. All the time,’ said Vimes.”
Discworld QOTD, from Making Money

“What the Iron Maiden was to stupid tyrants, the committee was to Lord Vetinari; it was only slightly more expensive, far less messy, considerably more efficient and, best of all, you had to force people to climb inside the Iron Maiden.”
Interesting-the punishment for parking illegally in ancient Nineveh was apparently… death

In all seriousness, my then 5YO asked me in Euston station what language. Was spoken in England.
She didn’t understand the Urdu, English, or Punjabi, each of which are spoken with an English twist

We foreigners have ruined London.

It’s only because Marie is one of us that she’s is trying to spin the horrifying reality of Vietnamese people selling Moroccan food.
one thing I love about London is that the food offering isn't just incredibly diverse but also often made by people you wouldn't expect, ie a Moroccan café I like is for some reason owned by a Vietnamese woman, and I'm currently having lunch at a Jamaican place run by south east Asians, what a joy
Are “pocket friends” real?

I’ve lost two I only ever knew online.

Never met.

But I grieve their passing.

So yeah, I’d say they were real

“Our answer to the question of what police must do before searching a cell phone seized incident to an arrest is accordingly simple—get a warrant.”

How much time do you have comrade?
I am friends with many lawyers on here, I love and admire you all

what - and I ask this sincerely - the fuck
Yeesh, may this “path” never find me. A 2,400 hr year is basically billing 10 hours a day. That’s *billable* time: not all the time you’re at the office, or eating lunch, or in transit, or in slow periods bc of market downturns outside of your control. BILLABLE. TIME.

Sorry, life’s too damn short.

Dad: you can watch till 3, but then turn it off.
14YO: okay Daddy.
***at 3:20***
AD: you were supposed to turn it off at 3.
14YO: I did. But you didn’t say I couldn’t turn it on again.
AD: Kids like you grow up to be lawyers.

Then cops are the only ones.
Lawyers yes.
But doctors are in agony-a bandage with a spot of blood on it is very very bad surgery apparently.
And you apparently never ever hand an intelligence analyst a gun and say “you’re operational now.”
Pretty fun that if u go to see a cop movie with someone who is a cop, they will enjoy the movie for what it’s worth and not typically comment on the lack of realism of cops not usually flying thru the air with guns blazing in both hands, but if you show a liberal lawyer that scene from And Justice…
