It is not shocking that Justin Jones and Ross Miller are in trouble regarding ethics.

If I were a County Commissioner, I wouldn’t be in trouble here because I wouldn’t have taken the tickets. I hope I would have refused for ethical reasons, but I know for damn sure I wouldn’t have taken the tickets because I would have rather stayed home than go to an F1 event.

The bar exam story makes me sick. I sure as hell hope that I would be the type of person to help someone in that situation rather than worrying about the bar. It’s almost like we have forgotten what it’s all about.

Years ago, in the old courthouse, an attorney dropped dead right outside a courtroom door on the first floor. The marshals/bailiffs seemed to take forever to get any help to the man. His body lay on the ground for maybe an hour while attorneys walked over/around him to get into the courtroom. Yep, it really happened.

The only places I’ve seen discussion about the heart attack is on reddit, and now it look like Above the Law ran with a reddit story. all the reddit stories are a part of the “bar is hazing” movement. Until I actually see some solid evidence, I think the heart attack story is propaganda.

And those claims are also taken from reddit.

Reddit users are some of the softest, most wet noodle whiners on the planet.

From that article, “But some Reddit users claiming they were among the test-takers Wednesday say they’re upset the exam wasn’t halted outright.”

Wait; so I can just fabricate someone’s will from whole cloth (hypothetically) and it will be presumed valid because it is “self-authenticating,” and therefore cannot be subject to scrutiny by other stakeholders? I am not a probate lawyer (obviously so don’t waste your breath pointing that out), but I do remember the rule that I learned early on in practice: “If it sounds wrong, then chances are it is wrong.” I have no idea whether this will is a fraud or not, but it certainly does have an odor about it that warrants further investigation.

Even better, you can present a holographic will with *no* witnesses. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvin_Dummar

What happened to Lucien Greco at Bremer Whyte? Thought he was the managing partner. He’s not on the website anymore.

“Horsford says he was denied entry into ICE detention facility”
The guy is just trolling for something that will get him in the news.

That could be virtually every politician. One doesn’t go into public office because they are shy.

Troll or not, should they have barred entry to a Member of Congress?

He should assault an ICE officer or two. That’ll make him famous.

That story about the brother-father issue is sad, gotta be heartbreaking for the younger brother regardless of the outcome.

My heart goes out to him, I hate the media narrative that the mom “maintains her innocence” – an Alford plea is a form of guilty plea.
