There is a disturbing trend of young lawyers trying to be concise.

A 2nd-year drafted an executive summary for a banking client using bullet points and plain English.

She proudly stated that she reduced a 50-page compliance memo into a 2-page brief.

I asked her if she thought the client was paying $950 an hour for brevity.

She muttered something about respecting the CEO's time.

I explained that clients don't pay us to solve their problems quickly.

They pay us to make their problems look so incomprehensible that only we can solve them.

I made her rewrite the summary using dense, impenetrable legalese.

It took her 12 hours to bury the conclusion on page 42.

The client called me the next morning to thank us for our incredibly thorough analysis.

Clarity is a customer service concept.

We are in the business of intellectual intimidation.

Had a lecturer who dropped out of uni cause she got pregnant, she had 2 sons and spent a decade at home being a SAHM

She went back to uni at 30 there about, got her degree, got her masters and then won a scholarship to the US for her doctorate

After she graduated in the US she got a teaching job and stayed there for a while, she also got her sons to go there to study and her husband to join her

But the husband didn't like living in the US so they both came back and she's now teaching at the University of Nairobi

So no it's never too late to do anything as long as you're alive

On the Exceptions of the Exhaustion of Remedies Doctrine the Leading Authority that clearly outlines the circumstances is the NGO BOARD Decision, otherwise called the LGBTQ Decision. The Supreme Court did enunciate the grounds where the doctrine can be bypassed. ✅️✅️

Of course it emanated from whether the Petitioners ought to have gone to the NGO BOARD first for determination. 👍

Maybe many fail PE because we heavily rely on Tom Ojienda's book.

Here are some things you can do:

1️⃣ Change your oil sooner than usual
2️⃣ Use a quality synthetic with high acid-fighting capacity
3️⃣ Add a fuel system cleaner (be very careful here)
4️⃣ Choose your fuel station carefully
5️⃣ Listen to your car differently for the next 6 months

Anyways... Did you know that the "DSG farts" are caused by the rapid, forced ignition of fuel in the exhaust system during high-RPM upshifts on Volkswagen's Dual-Clutch Transmission (DSG) cars?

Envy no one. For whatever you see, a price was paid.

Netherlands, before covid

My first time abroad

I didn’t have any euros in me

On my first day at work, at 5pm, Michelle shows up at my work desk

“You’re the new guy. Welcome to Rotterdam!”

Then tells me it’s 5pm. People here don’t work overtime. “Let’s go have dinner!”

So I pack my laptop and off we go

Witte de withstraat. Probably the most popular street in Rotterdam

We have a sumptuous meal. I tell her I do not have any Euros in me as I forgot to convert.

She tells me not to worry and, hear this..

She hands me her own credit card!!!

Tells me to use it everyday for all my needs. Just that I should return it and pay back when I am sorted!!

She blessed my life abroad in every possible way. At the moment that I most needed it.

Michelle Heah. God bless your kind soul!

A few:
-Cut off anyone who disrespects you
-Pay attention to the tone and body language of people no matter how good what they say sounds
-Don’t be an open book, people should never know who exactly you are
-Be very delusional about your capabilities
-Never forgive betrayal

As a junior M&A lawyer, you will be asked to edit a document someone else prepared.
You must know three things:
1. Once you touch a document it is yours. Any mistakes are on you.
2. Do not ever assume whoever drafted the document did it right. Check everything.
3. Now it is yours. You now own this matter, make sure to push it along, get answers to your questions, and bring it home.

A prominent person wrote a WILL with a clause “Anyone who challenges this WILL will lose his/her Share”. No one has dared to challenge it till today.

Litigation hack: after closing down a matter. Meet the opposing counsel for tea/uji. That's how you build networks in the bar and get co-opted or roped into other matters. Your opposing counsel is never your enemy. Don't be seen together when the case is active though😀

For quality of life, it is better to err on the side of being an optimist and wrong, rather than a pessimist and right
