Welcome to all the people joining! I mostly post about the legal industry, #legaltech, and the practice of law. I also talk about amateur cooking under the hashtag #peasantking.
My ultimate goal is to run a #TTRPG live stream of all lawyer players mock-arguing about the rules as we play. #JDandD

Saddened by the passing of Janet Ward Black.
I heard her speak at Freedom Fighter Lawyers' Summit back in Sept. 2024, right before Hurricane Helene stranded the whole conference in Asheville, NC.
She was a caring lawyer, interested in the well being of her clients.
I admired her then and now.
