Missouri attorney. Huge supporter of strong coffee, good books, and the Oxford comma.

Lawyers are trained to provide A+ work. It’s a hallmark of the profession. As a result, we dwell on things. We start with big things (every way this argument can be debunked) and then small (every comma perfectly placed).

@byherodriguez Ok but that case where the aunt sues her 5 year old nephew for pulling out her chair? Pretty innovative.

I show this picture at the end of my “about me” slides because:

1. 6th grade is when I met my best friends. Friendships can form at 12 that last forever. ❤️

2. Teachers like @ealove21 have a big impact and that’s super cool. I want to be like that for my students.

@jahalahkay There’s something special about sixth grade 💜💜

One year ago, I received my law license. The best way I can sum up my first year of practice is to share my current top three emojis: 😅😬🤓

The past year has made me better. Here’s to year two!

So what you’re telling me is that Zaila Avant-garde is not only the spelling bee champion, she is also The Most Interesting 14 Year-Old in America https://t.co/RTk1GMpAwQ

@StefonDavid 😂😂 So far my favorite has been “a complete misunderstanding of both the issues and the law.”

@reba3110 Highly recommend Nani Swimwear. I just bought two (a two piece and a one piece) and they were both on sale and also comfortable/not revealing. (The one piece I bought even has pockets, which I didn’t know I needed until I had).

[Brittany Briggs Essma @BrittTheWit]

@StefonDavid I approve.

BREAKING: Virginia's Senate just voted to pass legislation abolishing the death penalty, 21 to 17 votes.

Virginia has been one of most pro-death penalty states in U.S. history. So this would be a historic development. Next up: the House still has to vote on it.

In this week’s On Being, @eji_org founder Bryan Stevenson on how to embrace what’s right and corrective, redemptive and restorative — and an insistence that each of us is more than the worst thing we’ve done. https://t.co/Lm5tGIQ9LR
