Some days you really just need a shower, clean sheets and silence.

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

being right and proving you’re right are two completely different things.

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

My favourite kind of break from studying?

A long walk with my headphones on and absolutely no legal terminology. 😭

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

I’m glad to see more attention going toward women’s participation in peace and justice processes in Mozambique.

Representation shouldn’t be an afterthought.

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

Reading for fun sounds peaceful until you realize your “fun reading” somehow became 60 pages of arguments and footnotes. 😭

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

me: i’ll read one case before bed.
also me at 1am: researching a completely unrelated case.

India take the Asian Games cricket gold after beating Pakistan by 19 runs. Yeah… Twitter is going to be unbearable today. 😂🏏

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

Ronaldo left the Portugal camp, and somehow the post-Ronaldo era started with a 4–2 win. Football Twitter is going to be unbearable today 😭

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

Reading tonight because my brain deserves something other than legal terminology

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

No case files tonight. Just a book I actually chose to read.

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

This week needs to explain itself because what do you mean it’s already Wednesday?

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

Would you rather know every law or have the ability to argue any case?

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

Kendall Jenner walking for L’Oréal Paris in that sheer black look…

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

Closed my laptop. I refuse to read another legal document tonight.

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

Some legal cases are interesting because of the law itself. Others because of the money involved. The Galp capital-gains dispute definitely falls into the second category. €151.5M is not a small number.

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

Coffee after dinner because apparently sleep is tomorrow’s problem.

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

Not every argument needs a winner.

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

We really need to stop treating viral posts as evidence. A million views can tell you something went viral. It tells you absolutely nothing about whether it’s true.

[Isabel Cossa @IsabelCossaa]

Another viral video, another conversation about women’s safety.
At some point, “going viral” shouldn’t be what it takes for people to care.
