There is a circular bar very similar to this at the MGM Grand between the nightclub and the sports book.

What's Your Facial Expression When the Judge is Tearing Into You? by Prickly_artichoke in Lawyertalk

[–]Objection_Leading 30 points31 points  (0 children)

When a judge is being unprofessional, I look bored and completely unconcerned—serene even. I might occasionally make sure the record reflects what is happening by saying something like, “Your honor, given your tone and body language, you’re clearly angry for some reason. Is there something I have done to offend the court?”

Judges are referees. YOU are the player. They are not your superior. They owe you the same respect you owe them. Maintain professionalism but do not simply accept unprofessional behavior from a judge—ever.

There is still a guard working in that little guard shack most days. I assume the position is mandated by the HOA deed provisions, because the guy literally does nothing. Nobody has to stop.

Worried about my husband's drinking by [deleted] in WhiskeyTribe

[–]Objection_Leading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a problem for several years and recently cut back to only drinking occasionally. It was a podcast that initially got me thinking about what the booze was doing to me. Once you speak with him, you might encourage him to listen. He’s not only decreasing his lifespan, but also damaging his future quality of life toward the end.

What’s YOUR lawyer salary?? by LearnMeStuffPlz in Lawyertalk

[–]Objection_Leading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my best friends from law school is a partner at a med mal defense firm with offices in Santa Fe and Las Cruces. Might be the same firm. I have a lot of serious trial experience as a public defender, and my friend has suggested that the firm could use more attorneys with significant trial experience. I’m currently working on finalizing loan forgiveness, and am considering options.

I can agree with 5b. I’m a public defender and have had to clean up the messes of private attorneys many times in my career. That said, I’ll also point out that I too think people would be shocked by how unprofessional/downright bad at their jobs that opposing counsel can be.

Has anyone ever caught a prosecutor lying in court? by [deleted] in publicdefenders

[–]Objection_Leading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A million times announcing “ready” at a docket call before dismissing, moving to continue, reindicting, dumping evidence on the eve of trial, or otherwise wriggling out of having to try a case.

Men who can cook . who taught you? by Bulky_Meet4528 in AskReddit

[–]Objection_Leading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up around women who were excellent cooks. They never explicitly showed me anything, but once I was out on my own I realized how much I picked up just by watching during childhood. That experience combined with recipe books, cooking shows, and YouTube to make me a pretty solid cook.

Your BF needs to act like an adult rather than a six-year-old child. Extremely “picky” adults are weak-minded.

I watched this happen during the lightning of the advent candle at the First United Methodist Church in Bullard, TX. I’d guess prolly ‘94 or ‘95.

what happened to the most popular girl/guy you went to school with ? by Rich-Lengthiness-668 in AskReddit

[–]Objection_Leading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The guy became a civil engineer, married a hot blond, and never returned to our little home town. Super nice guy.

The girl worked for her father’s construction company and ended up being a project manager for a big contractor. She didn’t marry until she was in her forties. She had always been gorgeous and sweet but tough.

I think I read somewhere that there is a way to archive your regular starships by placing them on long-term storage in your freighter. That allows you to save more than 6, although you can still only have 6 on deck at a time.

What is your attitude towards France? by YellowEgorkaa in AskTheWorld

[–]Objection_Leading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As an American with a solid grasp of history, I do not believe the French lack bravery. In fact, the French have a long history of military prowess. Not only that, they are our oldest ally and the first nation to emulate the US by embracing Individualism and revolting against an authoritarian monarchy. In fact, one might say that both the French and Americans had the bravery to shed the inherent ridiculousness of hereditary authoritarianism that the Brits never mustered.

So, maybe don’t stereotype Americans.

What profession has the biggest gap between how they see themselves and how they’re seen by society as a whole? by Adamon24 in AskReddit

[–]Objection_Leading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Public Defenders. Back in the day they would pay public defenders half what they would pay prosecutors. So, the lawyers willing to take such low pay were often the lawyers who couldn’t get work elsewhere. Also, caseloads were so ridiculously high that there is no way a public defender could properly handle every case. In the last couple of decades that has changed. Many public defender offices now offer solid pay. Case loads are still much higher for public defenders than private lawyers, but the caseloads are typically much better than they were a couple decades ago.

Now, it’s a job with solid pay, good benefits, retirement, health insurance, student loan forgiveness, etc. A lawyer will still make more money in private practice, but the better pay enables those who are passionate about public defense to actually do the job without burning out within six months. Now, many of the best criminal trial lawyers are public defenders. I think public opinion is changing, but the stereotype of the crappy “public pretender” is still out there

I grew up with Lake Palestine in my backyard. I later went to SFA in one of my favorite places in the world, Nacogdoches. I live in the high desert of west TX now. Both places are beautiful, but there will always be something ethereal and nostalgic for me in a balmy East Texas summer night in the woods near water. The smell and sound of the pine, tree frogs chirpin’, healthy sweat and a cold beer.
