I've got a good friend who's looking for help: if anyone in Los Angeles knows of a good disability lawyer who only takes a reasonable percentage of back pay awarded, please reach out and let me know, and I will pass it along.
charges are falsifying business records to hide #HushMoney payments in lead up to 2016 election to #influence electorate
just one Trump supporter at the courthouse draped in a Trump flag.
#StormyDaniels's lawyer, #KeithDavidson, to return to stand. He negotiated the hush-money payment at the center of the case, & is expected to lay out details of the deal.
Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar is simply one of the best #lawyers in the United States of America. Brilliant, eidetic memory, persuasive, and just all-around incredible.
@MarkRDavid. I would love to hear more from a #historian/#law professor about past #recusals. My understanding is that #lawyers can make the request, but it's up to the #SupremeCourt justice to decide if they can be impartial.
I will NOT (& often CANNOT) answer questions, so please don’t ask me any. If you have a comment/question for the universe, please label it “NFL” (Not For Laffy) so I can skip thru my replies.
1/… Via Pagliery:
Trump is sitting in court now, surrounded on both sides by his lawyers.
(More…)
excellent, concise piece that not only explains the seriousness of the #election interference case (aka the hush money case, which is more salacious-sounding and therefore used more often) but the incorrect arguments, offered by some #lawyers and #media (this coverage contributed to my dropping the #WashingtonPost, I believe it was a #RuthMarcus piece poo-pooing the case) about the seriousness of the case (buttressed of course by calling it the hush money case).
@realjuddlegum.
thank you for this excellent, concise piece that not only explains the seriousness of the #election interference case (aka the hush money case, which is more salacious-sounding and therefore used more often) but the incorrect arguments, offered by some #lawyers & #media (this coverage contributed to my dropping the #WashingtonPost, I believe it was a #RuthMarcus piece poo-pooing the case) about its seriousness (buttressed of course by calling it the hush money case).
since Apartheidboi rebranded #Xitter, and seems hell bent on destroying anything related to Twitter; is it an abandoned trademark? even if not, can tweet be transformed into a generic term for microblogging?
For the three reporters who have written articles about this, and the one who provided invaluable guidance, my gratitude is endless. This post doesn't apply to you, nor "the feds", the cybersecurity experts, or #lawyers (including and especially @eff), who were extremely helpful. The rest, however, should take note.
I've willingly laid my neck on a chopping block, unprotected, for over six months.
My outreach has been exhaustive:
• Attempted to engage with over 150 journalists and #news organizations,
• Coordinated frequently with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (#CISA or "the feds"),
• Consulted with numerous cybersecurity experts,
• Sought advice from multiple lawyers,
• Spoke with ten state and state court CISOs,
• Attempted to talk to several dozen state and county court clerks and judges,
• Sent emails to every Florida State Senator, State Representative, and Supreme Court justice, and to multiple governors,
• Discussed with the staff of multiple U.S. Senators and U.S. Representatives,
• Contacted twelve vendors and over 40 employees
I've offered to write articles -- for free.
I've had no fewer than eight background checks done on me.
I've been cyberstalked by the Arizona Supreme Court.
I've put my job and my family's livelihood at risk in more ways than one.
I've made a grand total of $0; in fact, I've invested several hundred.
When I'm able to sleep, it's with one eye open, always waiting for "that" knock on the door.
After my first #disclosure, I prepared for a week to deal with what I expected to be a #media circus. What I received was one preemptive email from a state court #CISO (who was not affected) and one kind person (who is not a #journalist) on the #fediverse.
I've spent over 900 hours discovering, documenting, reporting, and disclosing vulnerabilities, trying to get this fixed on a mass scale, and attempting to contact the above list. I see no signs of this slowing down any time soon. All of this for what is merely a #hobby.
I've done my part. It's time for reporters to step up. The real-world harm these vulnerabilities have caused — and continue to cause — cannot be overstated. The need for widespread awareness and action is urgent.
Fox was addressing an investigatory panel of #lawyers that eventually will decide whether #JeffreyClark, who was appointed as an asst AG by Trump in 2017, should face professional #discipline, including possibly being stripped of his #LawLicense in DC. The proceeding is expected to last into next wk.
Fox told the 3-member panel that Clark… repeatedly violated department #ethics when he tried to help #Trump overturn #Georgia’s presidential election results & undo Joe #Biden’s victory….
“Lawyers do their service by finding novel interpretations with formal (watertight) arguments under a system of constitutional axioms to better Human Condition.”
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.
