Oh this is really helpful. THank you for sharing this

Go to a legal aid website. They explain things in layman’s terms. Also often the court clerk and/or county clerk have do it yourself forms and guides. That’s where I started as a litigator. Besides that taking a bunch of CLEs from the state bar and just learning by making mistakes

I have been avoiding her calls since past few days. She told me she got my number by mistake as she asked for a contact from transport team in the same name.

Additional Posts in Attorneys of Color

How's everyone doing? I was on social media today and reading about the Adam Toledo video and it took me back to last June, which on top of the pain from seeing this racist system continue to win out, June was my lowest billing month and hurt my confidence about hitting hours compared to my white peers.

How are other people dealing with 1) trauma of another racist murder by cops and 2) impact on work? I am not black, so my pain does not compare but I can't act like things are fine either...
