One of the worst aspect of the *modern* working world. Remember when instructions came via DX and took at least 24 hrs
Wait, before email existed… did people just leave work and nobody could contact them until the next day?

Not everyone can be a Human Rights lawyer and that’s ok 😊
My unsolicited advice to law students is to not be afraid to pivot. Law students are typically ambitious & have a plan. However, in law school you might develop a new passion or develop a skill you didn’t know you had. Lean into that. Don’t be married to a plan, pivoting is okay.

It’s all just so random
It’s easier to find a needle in a haystack than the email you got last week in Outlook.

Yup …
I love how Outlook deletes meeting emails the moment I hit accept. It’s a genius idea, because obviously I’ll never need the agenda, Zoom link, meeting details, or literally anything else from that email again. Truly incredible software.

Lawyers, stop using words you'd never say at a dinner table. If a client nods without understanding, you didn't communicate. You performed.

Feel as though this could and should be part of the work of the CJS
please teach your children that every feeling is valid but every reaction isn’t acceptable.

I like that Microsoft Word hasn’t gotten better or gained any additional functionality in 20 years but does use 10x the RAM now. Good stuff Microsoft

A Blue Plaque has been unveiled to honour Francis Barber, the servant, friend, and sole heir of Dr #SamuelJohnson, and the first known Black schoolteacher in British history. The ceremony also marked the launch of the redesigned City of London Blue Plaques Scheme and 150 years since the City's oldest plaque was unveiled at the same site. šŸ’™ #BluePlaques #BlackHistory sbrew.link/28bA6XrL

Just told the Judge that I didn't get done what he ordered last time because and I quote "Your Honor, I don't get to say this much so I'm going to say it and I'm sorry, but after our hearing last time I almost died and was admitted to the ER right after the hearing with pulmonary embolisms and blood clots all over my lungs and have been recovering after so I would ask for a 60 more days to complete this." The Judge responded and said sorry to hear that and you certainly look and sound better than you did last time, which I initially thought was perfunctory stuff, but come to find out he actually remembered my last appearance on August 17th, which is incredible considering it's Stanley Mosk in downtown LA. I had thought I had hidden my pain during that hearing but I guess not. I actually really appreciate this and it's a very overall positive thing and interaction and makes me feel emotional. A lot of Judges sadly would not really care, or notice. Perhaps he's my new favorite Judge.

Some lawyers need to have a long hard look at themselves if they do this…
I asked for an extension on something and opposing counsel literally asked me to provide them with my medical records in a show of "Good Faith." Is this seriously real life?

Apparently people are folding their grocery bags into tiny perfect triangles now. I thought we all agreed the proper storage method was to nominate the strongest grocery bag and stuff 63 other bags inside it, like our mothers and grandmothers before us.

In the growing chasm between those with relative comfort & financial security and those who perceive that they've been left behind, it easy to fall into its darkness when there is no bridge.
A footnote - Portsmouth is in the top third nationally for deprivation. IIRC, in 2014 shipbuilding went to Scotland to sweeten the referendum. But Pompey lost 1k jobs. Index of Multiple Deprivation for Portsmouth | Portsmouth City Council portsmouth.gov.uk/services/h…
