Fuck every aspect of society that protects abusers. Ban NDAs and arb clauses in employment law. Name names. And fuck those who are complicit through silence.

And the story is so often the same. Men pressuring women to do drugs so they can rape them.

And professionals, if you’re someone’s boss and you try and sleep with them - you are a Cornell frat boy in a corner office.

Ban NDAs in employment law separation agreements. Fuck every aspect of culture that protects abusers.

Hey guys, if you’re ever in a group text where your “friends” are talking about an ongoing rape - call the police, expel those people from your life, and reflect on why you were on thread.

I went to a college that banned fraternities. May the rest of the country catch up to where Framingham State was 30 years ago.

Guys when you stand next to a woman coworker in a picture it’s not an invitation to touch her.

Pope: Church must help broken families heal from drug abuse - Vatican News

There is nothing that does more harm than addiction. I pray the Holy Spirit continues to provide family for all those left by the roadside of life. May God bless those who give compassion, nourishment, and healing of wounds to those struggling. www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

"But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you." - Luke 6:27–28

Lawyers, do the hard reading yourself at least once per case. Not because you have to. Because that's where the case actually turns.

Simplify until it's almost uncomfortable. Then simplify once more. Juries don't reward complexity and neither do judges.

030

Lawyers, the hardest skill in trial work isn't argument. It's listening well enough to change your plan mid-question.

000

Trying cases makes you a better settler. Everyone at the table can tell whether you actually will.

000

Lawyers, read your own writing out loud before it goes out. Every clunky sentence announces itself immediately.

000

A deposition is not a fishing trip. Know what you need before you sit down or you'll spend six hours confirming what you already had.

000

Lawyers, judgment is pattern recognition plus the courage to act early. You build the first by doing reps. You build the second by surviving them.

000

The witness prep nobody does is telling them what happens in the room. Fear comes from unfamiliarity, not from the questions.

000

Lawyers, know your case theory in one sentence before you write anything. If you can't, you don't have a theory. You have a pile of facts.

000

Preparation is the only advantage nobody can take from you. It's also the only one most lawyers will not do.

000

Lawyers, lead with your best argument. Burying it on page nine to build suspense is a habit from law review, not from winning.

000

The best legal writing is short, ordered, and confident. If a judge has to reread a sentence, you lost something you'll never get back.

000

Lawyers, your brief is not a demonstration of effort. It's an argument. Cut everything that exists only to prove you did the reading.

Regular trial work rewires how you think. Sharper under pressure, plainer in language, faster to the point. There's no substitute. Take the case.

000

To those out there who ❤️ someone enough to in the words of Noah Kahan: call their mom - you are real ones.

000

Lawyers, if the work you're doing today doesn't teach you something you'll use in ten years, ask why you're doing it. Then go find work that does.

000

The path from associate to owner isn't a promotion. It's a different job with different skills. Start learning the second job while you still have the first.

000

Lawyers, mentorship isn't a program. It's one person who takes your call. Go find that person and be worth their time.

I fly a bunch. DTW is the best big airport. The best smaller airport is BDL.

Young lawyers, you're not behind. You're comparing your first draft to somebody's twentieth year.

Some of the most important lessons you'll learn come from trying to learn something else entirely. Protect that wandering. It's where the good ideas live.

000

Two investments paid off more than anything else: learning to try a case and learning to run a business. Both cost money. Both returned it many times over.

Wishing all of my Jewish friends an easy fast.

The summer part of fall is over. Sad!

000

Young lawyers, find someone five years ahead and buy them lunch quarterly. That relationship will teach you more than any CLE you'll ever sit through.

000

The bar exam tests whether you can memorize under duress. Apprenticeship tests whether you can help someone. We chose the wrong one.

000

Lawyers, your first job doesn't set your ceiling. It sets your first floor. Plenty of people have moved between the two.

020

Young lawyers, ask the partner why, not just what. The what expires in a year. The why is the career.

000

Nothing in a casebook teaches what a courtroom does. Sit in the back of one. Watch a real deposition. Watch someone calm a terrified client.

000

Learn how your firm actually makes money and you'll be doing something almost no associate does. Scarcity is the advantage.
