@adam_shniderman How to show/convince SCOTX why your case is the best “vehicle” to address the issue/error without actually saying your case is the best? As in, why SCOTX shouldn’t wait to address the issue/error in a later case.
@CecereCarl But what about Pig Latin so you can communicate with your bros about what game y’all are going to play on the playground during lunch or recess? Or need to communicate with a Canadian and don’t know French?
@FloridaManEsq_ Howdy.
1) I’m Milo
2) Mostly appeals
3) Don’t be afraid to ask another lawyer to meet for lunch or coffee. Especially if they’re someone you look up to or considered an expert in the area of law you are. You’d be surprised how willing those lawyers are to meet and talk to help
@CecereCarl Episodes 36 of @TexAppLawPod and #HowILawyer (coincidentally) feature a guest who talks about creative ways to build a book of business as an appellate attorney that I found helpful. Still working towards that DC networking trip.
@jodyssanders I may have sent the opinion and case summary to lawyer (mostly transactional) and journalist friends who either refuse to use the Oxford comma or don't think the Oxford comma matters to add another log to the fire to fuel our ongoing debate and help them start their Friday right.
@dodrummond@TexasLawPubs My legal writing professors always referred to the MOUS as the "Lawyer's Pocket Bible" and they weren't wrong. I still pull my old edition from law school out whenever I am writing a brief.
