Lawyers: I think if we all work together, we can make the word “revert” mean what we all seem to feel like it *should* mean

The legal profession is chock full of women who interviewed with lots of law firms in hotel rooms as first or second year law students
If you are not in academia, you might not know this, but job interviews used to be held at conferences IN HOTEL ROOMS. Women candidates in a hotel room alone with often all-male committees. People sitting on beds! The horror stories I've heard.
I thing I sometimes thing about is that university departments were still doing job interviews in hotel rooms in the mid aughts

Great thread here from OG @lizcgil.bsky.social #LadyLawyerDiaries
I say this often to new attorneys: one of the most important things to remember is that you will NOT be a fit for every client, and that’s okay. We are human beings first, attorneys second - not the other way around. If you prioritize appealing to everyone and lose yourself, you’ve lost.

The title speaks for itself.
Law schools should NOT be the only source of #clerkship info.
Fortunately, they don’t have to be! @thelap.bsky.social Clerkships Database provides an *honest* picture of clerking.
Shame on law schools that say otherwise.

Law Schools Are Lying To Students About Judicial Clerkships - Above the Law
What do you call it when law schools withhold negative information about judges from students and try to prevent them from accessing candid clerkship information beyond the school’s approved resources...

Employment lawyer here: the number of male employers who genuinely believe they should be able to sleep with their female employees and pay working mothers less than working fathers is most of them. They genuinely believe that it is an injustice against them that they might face repercussions.
the question nobody with a soul is asking, answered by people nobody wants to hear from

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Zoom court reminder:
Calling the judge a f****** c*** at the hearing’s end, while the feed is still on in the court and streaming in the jail, is still contempt of court—even though your screen is black. And even if you’ve been practicing law for 40 years+

![The trial court instructed the court clerk to place that arraignment and Bennett’s three pending cases on the docket for that day, but was unsure of the date. The court clerk advised the date was June 13, 2024. The following occurred on the record:
The Court: June 13, okay, I’ll see everyone then, thank you.
The Clerk: Thank you.
[Appellant]: Judge - - thank you. F****** c***.
(Court in recess at 10:21 a.m.)
On June 5, 2024, the trial court issued an order to show cause, which read:
This matter comes before the Court on the Court’s own motion. The Court finds that [appellant - Marshall S. Tauber (P34547)] directed obscene language to the Court thereby engaging in a willful disregard of the authority of the Court.
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that [appellant] is to appear on WEDNESDAY, June 12, 2024, at 1:30 PM at Oakland County Sixth Circuit Court, 1200 North Telegraph Road, Pontiac Michigan 48341 – Courtroom 1B, to
show cause why he should not be found in direct criminal contempt of court for his conduct pursuant to MCL 600.1701(a). An arraignment on the charge and/or pretrial may be conducted in lieu of the hearing. Failure to appear for a contempt hearing may result in a bench warrant being issued for arrest.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tkfh3xh5wvq345tnnfwj7p2h/bafkreiegfciv45m52c3xz3zoukzn57h6kjjpvlqzzgv7rdfv357ahffxru@jpeg)

None of the six are so accused. It’s not just her (although she’s amazing and we unequivocally applaud her efforts to bring attention to this)—there are five other patriotic Americans defending democracy, who are fighting this indictment by her side. And DOJ is out to ruin them.
I encourage everyone to read the indictment. Read it. People will lie about what it says and you should know what it says.
