@currypistonn Man, that’s awkward. Take your work seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously.

[Robert E. Byrne, Jr. @BobByrneJr]

Just got word that our trial set for next week settled. That’s great.

It is also sad. All that hard work and we don’t get to play in the big game.

But the client is thrilled and that’s what is most important!

With winter weather hitting, stay off roads covered with snow and ice!

Even if you are a great driver, there will always be guys like this putting you at risk.

@DannyAstoria @LawCrimeNetwork Fair point. But opening is usually the easiest part of the trial. Even if he is able to navigate the artistic aspects of trial, the technical aspects are tough even for lawyers and he will be held to that std. Plus, if convicted, he has forfeited 6th Am arg.

Here is a wild fact about mild traumatic brain injuries.

A study showed that 56% of brain injured patients who visited emergency rooms were not diagnosed with a TBI at the ER!

That complicates diagnosis & recovery.

But it won’t kill your case.

Grief will confront us if we live long enough.

It is intimidating to know what to say when a friend, colleague, or a client suffers tragic loss.

Ignoring it is no option.

The best and safest thing is to say: “I’m so sorry for your loss.”

Any words you’ve found comforting?

It’s your first birth. You’ve been induced for labor.

But things take a turn and the OB determines that an emergency c-section is needed.

The team arrives. Quickly.

Except the anesthesiologist.

The C-section occurred without him.

$2.5M verdict.

So you go to the emergency room after you have been injured

The hospital asks for your insurance card. No problem.

But then they start asking you about your automobile insurance policy.

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩RED FLAG ALERT

Watch to know why

@SquawkCNBC @GeoffLewisOrg Counter point: go to law school to litigate all of the absurd contracts that will be generated by ChatGPT and blindly relied upon by cost cutters. That might be worse than copying and pasting a contract found on Google. #ChatGPT

@Scojo100 @Reuters Looks like the jury awarded $137M the first time and the judge reduced it to $15M. He thinks the 137M is a more accurate data point. Gutsy
