I always liked Joe. I spoke with him just two weeks ago and he seemed fine. He knew how to brighten a conversation or a room, had a great sense of humor.
This makes me so sad. I really liked Joe. We did not always see eye to eye in cases, but he was a good dude and we had a lot of good conversations about life and non-law related things.
For anyone who knows me, this is probably going to completely out my identity, but I definitely screamed Joe’s name after I came out of a coma because I’d missed a trial with him and was apparently very concerned that I still needed to “launch him to the moon.” 😂
It was literally one of the first five things I said after waking up, which probably tells you something about the impression Joe could make on a person.
Damn. This really sucks. What a loss. RIP, Joe.

Dear EJDC Civil Bench Bar Meeting coordinators.
We do not need someone to read to us the case summaries that were emailed to us. It is a waste of time.
There are more important things to discuss. Or maybe there are not. In which case be done with these meetings that actually could have been emails — and in fact, are emails.
I volunteer to disband the meetings until they’re useful and judges getting decisions on time and orders back in a day or two. Do you all really need to hold more meetings of having cases read to you/us when you should be working on real cases?
Maximalist defined pronouns in legal pleadings are OBNOXIOUS. The same people who do this write headings and subheadings that are 5-6 lines long. Good Gravy, learn how to write people.
You figured it out…. me too. Knowing this, I believe everything in Lesley’s complaint. It was a worst kept secret that he’s not only (allegedly) a jerk, but (allegedly) a pig and KC has a multi decade history of valuing the almighty dollar from the top down, over ethics. I hope she wins – big.
He’s not trolling. Reads like dime store trash. Name the names. Don’t use “Predator” as your pronoun. Provide specific factual allegations not generalized statements. The more “salacious” these complaints are the more they seem to lack substance.
As 5:42 pointed out, you’re still not bringing your best. We’re all attorneys here. This is a notice pleading state. Specifics about a non-party are not necessary at this stage. Do better.
its not a troll, what they alleged was very weak, but you reap what you sow, so its probably fair for the law firm to get sued since they pulled the same “notice pleading” argument on all of the people they sued without any real claims.

Has anyone been ordered by a judge or discovery commissioner to host them for a lunch and learn? Like they find some sanctionable conduct and as part of their ruling and decision that is ordered.
CCSD Lost kid twice
Advice to Mom, Air Tag your kid.
What even are her damages? A couple hours worth of anxiety? Get her a cowabunga bay coupon and tell her to move along.
Unreliable and unsafe school buses are another reason you shouldn’t send your kids to CCSD.
Heard that Joe Hong passed away yesterday after a battle with cancer. RIP.

Thank you for volunteering!

Or just don’t attend?
Just saw the Lesley Miller Complaint against Kaempfer Crowell, and it’s 🔥🔥🔥🔥. (she’s repped by Bailey Kennedy, case no. A-26-956032-C.) 🫖☕️
Can you share any details?
Download the Complaint
Who is “the Predator” referenced in the Complaint?

Chill, Rob.

There are named defendants. Use your context clue skills.
after reading it, I am on the side of the law firm
Extraordinarily weak attempt at trolling. Do better.

Getting better, but still not quite there fellas. Keep trolling, you’ll make it someday!

The complaint names specific defendants. So, there’s that.

A former DC ordered an attorney at my previous firm to do this
Damn you got wrekt

The pwnage is real!
they give them a choice, sign up for a training or pay a fee to the law library.
Maybe they are just hungry?
