I just got denied a #job in #software#engineering because of what I read are #legal ly protected grounds. And hey, just like usual, they put it all in writing so it's a live fish in a small barrel.
Are there any #lawyers who care about #disabled folks that want to read my email to the company and help me gain fair compensation? I'm in Canada but applying to the US (California), also cross listed in Canada, if that helps. If this is your passion but it had a fair fee, I'd love to meet for a pro-bono quote. Just dm me your phone.
(Any greedy lawyers excited to wring my pocketbook dry on fees can immediately quit reading, as I'm far too quick to the con so do save yourself the time and find a better mark.)
I'm fairly sharp with these matters, so please just boost if you aren't a lawyer -- no need to reply. Do please reply if you know better hashtags to boost this.
Thanks for ANY boost... I am a very experienced and exceptionally talented software engineer without a job (15mo!) because of my protected limitations and need to stop losing time and spirit on #discrimination cases like these. #pleaseBoost !

So who wins from the abolition of #NonDom status... the Treasury?... well maybe, but the immediate winners (as ever) are going to be the #lawyers & #lobbyists employed by the rich to game the (new) system, or try to change its character.
"Lawyers for a Tesla shareholder successfully sunk Elon Musk's $56 billion pay package from Tesla. Now they're asking a judge for about 11% of the Tesla shares, worth about $6 billion, for attorneys fees."
The AL #legislature voted Thurs to #protect#doctors doing IVF from #criminal or #civil#liability if #embryos they help to create are subsequently damaged or destroyed.
The fast action by both the House & Senate on bills to shield IVF came >2 wks after the state’s Supreme Court ruled that #FrozenEmbryos are people & that individuals could be liable for destroying them.
Singleton accused his colleague of relying too heavily on clinics &trial #lawyers in writing the measure,granting #doctors#immunity but not female #patients.
“We’re getting into a deep subj as far as when life begins & #abortion,” said Melson,a #Republican. “I’m not trying to take anybody’s rights away. I’m just trying to help these ladies. I’m sympathetic to their cause…”

#LegalEthics Tidbit: Is it unethical to get too busy?
Maybe. CO Bar Opinion 146 opines that a lawyer has a duty to maintain an appropriate workload. Being too busy can lead to violations of the duties of competence, diligence and communication, and create conflicts of interest because your work for client A keeps you from working on client B’s matter. Supervisors also have a duty to make sure their subordinates don’t get overloaded.
The penalties — upwards of $130k in legal fees incurred by the #election ofcls they sued, + referrals to their state #bar assns for discipline — stem from a lawsuit the lawyers filed in #Michigan in Nov 2020.
Israel holds female Palestinian rights lawyer without trial or charge

A new report from National Audit Office suggests massive cuts to #legalaid have not saved the #publicsector much money because its made some cases more expensive (i.e. when defendants represent themselves), while pushing costs onto other parts of the public sector (as in #housing disputes).
Not only that, the reduction in #lawyers willing to take on legal aid work means it is impossible to ascertain whether those eligible can access legal representation.
"Trump’s fundraising committees doled out cash to dozens of attorneys last year, a major expense for the Republican front-runner’s campaign as he stares down four criminal indictments and various civil lawsuits.
Trump’s groups spent roughly $50 million on legal consulting in 2023, including $30 million in the second half of the year, newly filed federal records show.."
🇷🇺 Ukraine on Friday urged the West to "get serious" about curbing Russia's arms production by shutting loopholes that allow it to keep sourcing key parts.
As Kim Wehle says, Trump is back to claiming, even in court, that the 2020 election was stolen — and his lawyers should be held accountable for their unethical and unprofessional role in assisting him in spreading the Big Lie.
"The lies packed into this brief should carry sanctions for the attorneys whose names appear on the front page."
#SCOTUS clerks are… the sort of ambitious #lawyers likely to wield significant #influence in their post-clerk lives. What makes #Justice#ClarenceThomas’s #clerks so remarkable… is their success as loyal standard-bearers of his singular #ideology. …an examination of what the justice & his wife call #ThomasClerkWorld, based on interviews w/people in & around it & a review of private emails & the Thomases’ public stmnts, shows how meticulously the couple have cultivated the network over decades.
The day before leaving office, #Trump issued an order declassifying most of the binder’s contents, setting off a flurry of activity in the final 48 hrs of his presidency. Multiple copies of the #redacted binder were created inside the WH, w/plans to distribute them across Washington to #Republicans in #Congress & #RightWing journalists.
Instead, copies initially sent out were frantically retrieved at the direction of White House #lawyers demanding additional redactions.
A #NewYork#appeals court rejected Trump's challenge to a #GagOrder & $15k in fines on Thurs in the high-stakes #civil#fraud case that threatens an estimated $250M in #damages & Trump's ability to do #business in the state.
