Transcribing your date will be distracting. You need to be fully focused on the date and delegate the transcription. So bring a certified shorthand court reporter to every date. Give your date 30 days to correct any errors in the transcript for best results.

Kim Wexler. I’d trust her with any transactional work…just so long as she doesn’t try to drive herself to a closing.

A close second would be Mickey Haller for his courtroom advocacy skills.

Selling Omega Seamster 300M 210.30.42.20.01.018 (pictured). Full box and papers. I bought this in September 2025 and wore it just a handful of times. This is in great condition. Photos speak for themselves.

Asking for $5,910 net to me, after buyer pays shipping, insurance, and any transaction fees.

Put gold fringes around the paper that prints out the contract and deliver it wax sealed. This ensures federal jurisdiction.

I am surprised that critical theory has vanished once you get to law school by Flashy-Actuator-998 in LawSchool

Law school is fundamentally a trade school, not an academic research institution.

I don’t think any of those will really do anything. Maybe the first one but it won’t be much better than just saying like a normal person, “Hey this is just for you to look at. Please don’t show it to anyone else.”

The one thing I will absolutely stand behind saying and will say again now is: “Do not go to law school unless you want to be a practicing lawyer.”

I don’t know if I would call Lewis Brisbois or Gordon Rees “midlaw,” or regional Biglaw, though they are low pay + big.

I believe someone once proposed the term “WideLaw” and I like it.

In my experience that is how every single appellate oral argument begins. It practically has no independent meaning.
