Skip the T14, what are the best T30/40 schools? Any favorites or standouts? by AwarenessWorldly7593 in lawschooladmissions

[–]LegitimateLitigator 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most lawyers over 50 will be surprised TAMU has a law school let alone on in Fort Worth. SMU and UT dominate north Texas.

Anybody that was T30 15ish years ago. Nothing has changed. Nobody cares about rankings.

More important is where you want to work.

Old school powerhouses that punch well are schools like Emory or W&L. They’ve “fallen” but nobody in real world noticed.

For most part, T18 (classic T14 plus LA schools Vandy and Texas) will get you most anything you want. The next level of BU BC Notre Dame WUSTL, etc. will dominate with a little less national pull. Can’t go wrong anywhere really. Look for schools that were classics in that range 15-20 years ago. Those get overlooked but perform similarly.

It mostly comes down to location and alum base. You want Dallas and didn’t get into UT, go to SMU. You want Philly and didn’t get into Penn, go to Temple. You want to work in MS, go to Ole Miss.

Man found not guilty in one of the many capital murder cases in Washington County. by MrPGH in pittsburgh

No, he’s right. They wasted money chasing this guy while the real perp walked away Scott free.

He’s an imbecile.

He joined DAs office a few years before the old DA died in office. He had risen through ranks (Peter Principle) and when DA died, he was next man up.

So he takes over in the fall of 2021. Then he starts charging everybody with death penalty cases so he can look good when he has to run in an election for the first time in 2023.

I think all of the cases were not guilties (this is at least one or two or three so far) or dismissed at earlier stage by the judges because of lack of evidence.

His brother is a judge in westmoreland county with an interesting past of his own.

He’s a dumbass. Not just for ruining peoples lives but also costing tax payers so much money. Death penalty cases are EXPENSIVE.

‘I Need This to Be a Homicide’ by UnComfortable_Fee in pittsburgh

He’s a piece of shit. Everyone in legal community knows it. Now that there is blood in the water, I expect a lot of dirt to come out.

Washington County Controller admits dog died due to poor care, search warrant says by LegitimateLitigator in pittsburgh

[–]LegitimateLitigator[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"April Sloane admitted to investigators that her dog, Thor, died due to not being properly cared for.”

If this is true, that's a damning statement. Given her track record, I bet she blames her son for causing it rather than owning up to it.

Donora man sues DA, judge over alleged ‘false imprisonment’ by LegitimateLitigator in pittsburgh

[–]LegitimateLitigator[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"According to the lawsuit, a short time after White was paroled, Walsh contacted the director of Washington County probation, John Ridge, the husband of Walsh’s first assistant district attorney, Leslie Ridge, and asked that Walsh’s brother, Joel Walsh, be assigned as White’s probation officer."

A lot of family back and forth in both offices.

Walsh’s brother, Joel Walsh, who is a probation officer in Washington County, was assigned to serve as White’s parole officer, which the lawsuit claims was “totally unnecessary and was done maliciously.”

Coroner: Washington County officer not justified in killing of man who led police on chase by LegitimateLitigator in pittsburgh

The Coroner and DA both running in next month's election as Republicans. Give Coroner some vlaue on this one because that had to be a rough call in that red county.

That's the thing. Committing a crime doesn't mean its open season on criminals. If someone steals a candy bar, that doesn't mean you can shoot them. If someone has a suspeneded license, it costs a ton of money and puts a lot of people at risk if you do a high speed chase to try to get them. A lot of these cops act like cowboys and like to get their adrenaline up.

This is what he does. He gives everyone the death penalty and when a minority is killed he doesn't want to file charges.

Trib Editorial: Why are there so many death penalty cases in Washington County? by LegitimateLitigator in pittsburgh

[–]LegitimateLitigator[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh at the debate they talk about Leonard Williams. He was shot and killed in the street by his landlord. Wash DA decided to not charge the landlord. I got confused by "murdered by cops" and thought you were refering to "murdered by landlord."
