By the time my course started, I was academically in love with her and just kept wondering, "Who is this amazing Elizabeth Warren person?!"

THREAD: In 2006, I taught a Bankruptcy Law for Paralegals course at Morehead State. I had to do a ton of self-teaching and prep work for it because my bankruptcy law experience prior to that was pretty specialized.

The bankruptcy code had just been revised, & I kept reading all this insightful commentary on it by this one Harvard Law School prof. Everything I read of hers was great--really focused on how bankruptcy laws should assist working people, particularly those mired in medical debt.

A breastfeeding lawyer walks into the Bar...
& can't find a place to pump in between CLE sessions. But it's no joke when women lawyers face structural barriers that disrupt their careers. So MothersEsquire is challenging all Bar Associations to the #PumpUptheBar2020 challenge.

With summer winding down, here’s a sampling of what Michelle and I have been listening to — some new, some old, some fast, some slow. Hope you enjoy.

Thank you, @RPhillipsEsq! So glad we overlapped, even for just a few weeks. ❤️

We stand against the President’s racist, xenophobic comments. Whether through harmful rhetoric or destructive policies, this administration continues to advance an agenda that seeks to further marginalize people of color and immigrants. (1/2)

Big week for victims of Eric C. Conn—who carried out the largest Social Security fraud in history, from here in East Kentucky

Conn’s scheme & antics get lots of attention (and would make a decent movie) but the news is about justice for Social Security’s flawed response 1/

“I like you! (But I like me better!)” Cannot say enough good things about @yeah_rocks_ & Southern Girls Rock Camp. Enjoy the grrrls of Koala Interpreters & this clip of the anthem they wrote & learned in a week of rock camp.

Back in SC after an inspiring week in Chicago.Our team from S.C. Legal Services is ready to get to work. As members of 2019 RJI Cohort we join advocates from across the U.S. in the fight for race equity. As we continue to learn w/RJI we'll start with a look at our own law firm.

The spring 2019 legislative session closed with the Shriver Center securing victories for families with low income, people earning the minimum wage, individuals experiencing hunger, the formerly justice-involved, consumers, and more. #StrongerCommunities https://t.co/qcrLzwoxZ6

For new Americans, a small misstep can lead to deportation and family separation. Without legal help, that’s what would have happened to Herbert, a refugee from the violence of his native El Salvador. Meet Herbert and his family in this new photo essay. https://t.co/etRPgBpJg9

"Private and public sectors need to work together to fix the broken civil justice system and ensure justice for all." Here's a strong argument in @FortuneMagazine for why corporations should invest in #CivilJusticeReform from @DavidZapolsky @amazon https://t.co/LC1h60on9E

Louisiana just took a step toward fixing America's civil justice system. By approving state funding of civil legal aid, LA is now the 47th state that does so, leaving only ID, FL and AL that neglect to fund these vital services. #CivilJusticeSolutions https://t.co/IMIbnFFRCE
