Fully justified times new roman. Get off my lawn.

Ha! What I do is to look briefs filed by the best law firms. Judges are just as quirky as the rest of us, and look at the local rules about acceptable fonts. And I love Times New Roman!

Fonts that you have to pay for. Equity, concourse, plantin, Valkyrie. These are the fonts that really make you seem rich and fancy.

Century Schoolbook. But check the Court’s rules to see if they require a particular font. And don’t you dare fully justify. 😉

NOT fully justified is so messy looking, I cant STAND to read paragraph after paragraph where the sentences look like they are falling off of the right side of the page. Just gross.

There are 100+ illustrations like this in my hallway because an English teacher thought it would be clever to use "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" to teach imagery. I can't imagine too many more succinctly effective ways to misrepresent God than this. Since I have a tendency to just jump straight to what someone has done wrong and how they need to fix it immediately, what would you say?

Celsius vs BlockFi now that BlockFi has all the cease and desist orders? Seems like celsius pays better AND now may be a safer bet? I like that BlockFi allows interest flex so i could get everything in eth or something and i have their CC, but otherwise they kinda suck. Bad rates and limited / expensive withdrawals.

I’m also concerned about more states piling onto BlockFi and turning them into a bitconnect or cred or something. Unlikely i know but curious about folks thoughts.

Whoever said employers don’t care about grades and transcripts after your first job was a liar. Every lateral position that I’ve applied to as a 3rd year has requested transcripts.

The amount of people, even attorneys, who can't separate out the policy merits of abortion from the issue of whether it is a constitutional right is disappointing. I consider myself pro-choice ---I believe states should allow it, that the federal government can pass a statute to guarantee it, and that FDA statutes and regulations will preempt any state trying to ban chemical abortions through FDA approved drugs. Dobbs at its core is a case about the Due Process Clause, not the policy of abortion

Plaintiffs counsel took my clients deposition today. He mentioned that he would likely be ordering the transcripts and I suggested we split the cost of them (in front of court reporter). He got pretty defensive and said absolutely not, it’s unfair to the court reporter, and that it is frowned upon in the industry to do that. Each party orders (and pays for) their own copy. I’m in my 2nd year of practice, never heard such a thing. I’ve actually split the cost before! Curious for insight on this…
