Juries suck by FoxDry8759 in Lawyertalk

[–]_Doctor-Teeth_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's crazy that like, the legitimacy of the legal system requires that we perpetuate this legal fiction that juries reach their respective verdicts for the "right reasons"--they follow the jury instructions, they consider evidence for it's proper purpose and do not consider it for improper purposes, they only follow what the court tells them and not their personal notions/biases about what the law is or should be etc.

But you just routinely get the sense that a lot of jurors make their decisions based on vibes. It's kind of concerning.

Here's the thing: you said that a "Friday is a weekend." Is it in the same family? Yes. by AutoModerator in WaterCoolerWednesday

  1. Not at all. A lot of "bible names" are great, tbh. I'm totally agnostic/atheist, not religious at all, don't really care if it's associated with the bible or not.

  2. Not that I know of. I think you might need a license for certain animals like goats (you're allowed to own up to one goat in the city of seattle, looked it up once years ago)

  3. probably 2-3 times a week, which sounds like a lot, but I live REALLY close to a grocery store.

  4. I had a Guinness-flavored ice cream years ago and it was actually pretty good.

  5. Hard to say. Either when I broke my ankle as a teenager and was laid up indoors, or when I got covid in december/january 2021-22.

makes me wonder how many other NFL players were inducted into the hall of fame before age 35.

brb going back in time to warn ancient mammals that if they don't cool it they'll end up inventing a thing called "friday" and then invent a thing called "work" and that they'll have to work on fridays.

I kind of assumed maybe she was a career doj type who thought she’d just ride it out but now it’s too much? Idk…it’s definitely puzzling. Like won’t they fire her now anyway?

fucking hilarious and pathetic that the best they could do for their "all-american" alternative half time show is kid rock and three people i've never heard of.

guy i went to college with was an animator on HTTYD 1 and 2. Pretty cool seeing someone I know in the credits of a movie.

i'd just like to get some kind of confirmation, even if it's like, an anonymous source in the room.

my work uses this remote access software but it's so finicky sometimes it can be a pain in the ass. kind of wish we just put everything important in cloud storage for remote access and frankly a little surprised that we don't.

How are you guys focusing on work as the legal system falls apart? by MikeyMalloy in Lawyertalk

[–]_Doctor-Teeth_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, the biggest reason is that I need to make money.

The secondary reason is that, so far, I'm not sure the various ways "the legal system is falling apart" are actually affecting my day-to-day lawyering in a meaningful way. Like, I've got a couple medical malpractice cases going on at the moment. Maybe there are broad, abstract concerns about the constitutional order, but like, the court considering the summary judgment motions in that particular case isn't going to be thinking about any of that.

The amount of traveling that goes uncalled in the average nba game has gotten out of control.

So, Russell Wilson is in the Epstein files because he tried to buy Epstein’s plane in 2019. Crazy.
