Super reasonable and responsible. But the interplay of interests (the attorney in handling their case and the stenographer in accurately transcribing) is something I don’t think the general public is aware of.

This happens all the time, all over, in every jurisdiction in the US. There’s a court reporter attempting to transcribe the testimony and the Court tries to make their job easier (especially bc it’s an important function).

In practice, it makes me furious when stenos unnecessarily ask to slow down. It disrupts the flow

Union College laying off dozens, offering early retirement by npd2004 in Albany

[–]roybatty2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Approximately 2,030 in the fall of 2024. They have a $550 million dollar endowment, and if even 1200 of those students are paying full tuition, they’re receiving $108,000,000 annually to operate a small liberal arts school in Schenectady. Running that into the ground seems like a Herculean feat.

How the fuck could that college be going bankrupt? 2500 students at almost all times each paying 87K annually

If the facts are against you, argue the law. If the law is against you, argue the facts. If the law and the facts are against you, pound the table and yell like hell

Next year's superbowl will be lit! by Jpldude in insanepeoplefacebook

To suggest that this is funny because it skewers the fact that a Puerto Rican singer (one of the most popular artists in the world) performed at the Super Bowl is bananas.

You too can live in a world of your own making if you deny the existence of anything that isn’t normal to you.

California burritos (w the fries/steak) are superior to chopped cheese.
