Litigator at North Law PLLC, ex- @bsfllp, @dla_piper, CA10. Displaced Kansan. Tweets my own, not legal advice.

@whignewtons Yeah! Long time listener, first time caller. I agree, though less of a slam dunk than flushing the evidence down the toilet. Call it 90/10. 😊

Hi @whignewtons - re: guy who wiped his phone with the duress pw, key is that he didn’t do it himself. He gave pw to cops; they wiped it! Tougher case without a close non-tech cousin, think! Tougher still: what if you set your duress pw to your bday and the cops guess it? 🤔

@dilanesper I eagerly await the inevitable megathread about the Privileges or Immunities Clause.

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@RobertFreundLaw The best part is they billed out a legal assistant at nearly $800/hr to prepare this very document.

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@RobertFreundLaw Anything other than a checkbox with the words “I agree to arbitration and a waiver of the right to sue in court” is a fiction. Some fictions are legal and practical necessities. This is not one of them.

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@RobertFreundLaw Sound advice. Do clients fight you on using check boxes? What’s the rationale for those making a conscious decision to stick with hybrid?

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@KannonShanmugam Great that you have an office in Lawrence, Kansas!

@xJonNYC 7 AA departures in 2 minutes after midnight? Good luck, PHX tower.

@rohanhirani Learn to tell better lies. Any casual consumer of WSJ, Barron’s, or CNBC knows MicroStrategy.

@xJonNYC Sent you a DM 24 hours ago - you could’ve broken the news!

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@Wildlaw406 Been waiting for this take. Lots of "oof, litigation is hard" RTs going around.

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@RobertFreundLaw I suppose this is the second case of its kind. Tapestry sued them earlier this year.

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@RobertFreundLaw Finally. So many brands will be watching this closely.

@MissEsqHire I took full paternity leave 6 weeks after starting a new biglaw senior associate job, and I had to lobby for it. The partners who recruited me strongly encouraged me to do it. You know, because it’s not 1995.

@blakestonks $LULU lost so many high-end customers to Vuori, Alo, Forme… no longer has its mid-2010s mojo

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@elialbrecht Not for all the tea in China.

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@adamscochran Exactly. Only downsides for the company. A more aggressive SEC would investigate potential insider trading based on this alone. Brian got a kick out of it, but so not worth the headache.

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@ItsMattsLaw I get your narrow point here, but every consumer attorney in this country would tell you adhesive arb clauses / class waivers stack the deck against consumers. They have nothing in common with arb clauses in negotiated commercial Ks.

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@ItsMattsLaw @mfrancesryan “You” can’t start a mass arb. There are a handful of firms that have the resources and capital to do it, and the incentives have to align. The consumer is out of luck unless one of them picks the fight.

[Evan North @EvanNorthLaw]

@SteelToeScribe @ForemanTaxLaw It works, but they have to agree in advance. Same for deep background. Journalists respect these agreements and have vested interests in not burning sources.
