iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Honestly. I didn’t use them in law school or in undergrad/grad school, but between making my own and the Critical Pass cards, they’ve been great. I’m not even testing rote memory, I’m just making sure I get the gist and can talk about the topic.

It’s just so much better for me to relate to real case. Unavailable witness? Yeah. Had one that died two years ago. He was also an expert witness. Two sets of rules right there! Actually, the case i’m referencing hit almost every rule of civil procedure possible. Easy review.

Less than a week before the bar and I’m finding talking through my flash cards with my (attorney) partner to be far more effective than anything else I’ve been doing. But I gotta get to that 75% on Themis in case I don’t pass. Dammit.

My mother: how did you turn out so woke after everything I did? Me: you sent me to school with progressive catholic nuns, I hung out at the library, you gave me internet access in 1992 and dad watched Star Trek with me. WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN?!

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.

Agreed. I believe teaching language arts not for, you know, the good of humanity and growing as people, but instead so someone can pass a test is also a factor. Reading and writing isn’t positioned as something that is enjoyable and worthwhile, but a chore that is to be games.

Also the change, apparently last year, about the number of spaces needed in a cite may actually kill me. WHY.

After years of marketing ebooks and being chronically online, doing legal work has reminded me that paper has its purpose, as I have an actual copy of the Blue Book next to me, and I realized I should probably print out and highlight a trial transcript. Sorry trees.

Yeah, this is one of those “two things can be true at the same time” situations: transphobia is wrong but he’s allowed to have opinions we disagree with.

The cop who sued me (also in Ohio) included in his complaint that he was called a “limp dicked piece of shit” by a codefendant. I assure you that got mentioned in court several times and had the case not been dismissed, the team would have delighted in that line of questioning.

I couldn’t either. Had to actually pay attention today. THE NERVE.

I have a feeling the guy who said he didn’t know is his wife was cheating on him or not is going to add one to the list real soon.

There are loooooots of cop ex wives to go around.

If it were reality TV, we’d see it on Housewives and Survivor too. Nope. Just the Gothard show.

He did countersue, but those claims were dismissed earlier in litigation.

He should go for sanctions. Seriously, this was frivolous. And there is precedent, after all.

Here are the alleged defamatory statements in the #Afroman case. Many, if not most, are clearly opinion. Police are also public figures under Ohio law. It is also perfectly legal to call a cop a white supremacist in Ohio. See: Olthaus v. Niesen, 2023-Ohio-4710, 232 N.E.3d 932 (Ct. App.)

I am very creeped out at how much that looks like even more wrong Zuck. 😭

and here I swear I'm not gonna duel in a couple months and THIS GUY...

That would be my argument. They are certainly public figures under Ohio law.

I sincerely do not understand how the Afroman case got past a motion to dismiss. I guess maybe the likeness issue? But for example: this guy is mad he was called a “dipshit” (opinion) and that he was accused of having a receding hairline. www.tiktok.com/t/ZThE8p7PN/

A classic case of the worst tort known to police: a trespass to feels.
