I didn’t watch, but I did see a video where apparently they booed Obama. I also watched another video of Papa Pope putting Fitz in his place, which has inspired me. I urge all of us to remember who we are and what they really are. We have resources that our ancestors did not.

I have an “I Voted” sticker somewhere I can see every day. I did my part, and sometimes the other people win.

We’ve been through worse and come out stronger. Maybe this will be just bad enough for people to get the idea what choosing between a bad and a worse option really means.

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX.

I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

What was your experience with the LSAT? Do you think it's gatekeeping, preventing students who can't afford it (often people of color) from entering the field? OR is it helping future attorney's of color by giving them a chance to go to a top school regardless of grades? I've seen questions about the LSAT all day and just want to know how people feel.

I really feel like I should be excused from this "diversity and inclusiveness" training stuff lmao. It's about implicit bias and I'm sorry it's just not believable coming from an old white man's mouth when there are maybe 4 non-white associates. We're having these meetings 3 times this week. 🤦🏽‍♀️
