My daughter and I were talking to General Prelogar after she spoke at @ColoWomensBar. Top level lawyering + so kind.

Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar speaks to Colorado lawyers (at CWBA Convention) about SCOTUS arguments, stakes of cases https://t.co/0iQiXKU3Rf via @colo_politics @michaelkarlik

@marclauritsen Connotations are baked into words. I agree! Word choice may not seem like an important topic but the labels “users” and “srl” for me-have negative vibes.

[BrookeMeyer @b_meyerw]

@marclauritsen I was also thinking producer.

Yes! Please read. “Demographically representative courts not only can improve user engagement but also may help increase public confidence in the court and its ability to render fair outcomes…” #judges, #jurors, #courtstaff, #attorneys #Equity @PewStates

[Pew States @PewStates]

⚖️ State and local courts should reflect the diversity of the communities they serve for our legal system to be open, effective, and equitable.

All too often, that isn't the case.

It's time to turn the tide. https://t.co/AuwLP9JpBM

Phrases used often enough become canned language. TY @StateCourts. #A2J means you have "timely, affordable access to legal help you need." Everyone deserves this. Sometimes this means you don't need a lawyer, a trip to the courthouse, or a big trial set a year + from now.

[National Center for State Courts @StateCourts]

Ever wondered what "Access to Justice" truly means?

It's about ensuring YOU have timely, affordable access to the legal help you need. #Courts are actively working to make this a reality for everyone because everyone deserves equal access. #A2J

@DannyWascou H H Hello!

[BrookeMeyer @b_meyerw]

Love @ColoWomensBar’s message on the life and work of the first female (and my personal SCOTUS favorite) U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor. She made a permanent positive impact on the legal profession. Thinking about my @IAALS colleagues, too!

[Colorado Women's Bar Association @ColoWomensBar]

Click to read our message re: the passing of the first female Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Sandra Day O’Connor. Her mark on the legal profession paved the way for countless women aspiring to leadership roles in the law and to positions on the bench.

Judge Castel penned a very thoughtful opinion & sanctions order. He earlier conducted an excellent examination @ the sanctions hearing. Clean transcript!

Judge Castel’s excellent record (transcript & this opinion/order) is a fine model for other jurists

Last week, IAALS gathered with partners and friends for our 15th Annual Rebuilding Justice Award Dinner, celebrating the year’s awardees and recognizing our collective efforts to build a more inclusive justice system.https://t.co/XXNSw0bRVf

[BrookeMeyer @b_meyerw]

TY @LadyJusticePodc for the impressive substantive conversation re: @StateCourts’ survey on public trust & confidence in courts. From public knowledge of state v. federal courts to behavioral health/problem-solving court progress. And state-specific innovations👏

[Lady Justice: Women of the Court @LadyJusticePodc]

Join us in our latest episode as we discuss the ⁦@StateCourts⁩ survey results on public confidence in the courts ⁦⁦@bethwalkr⁩ @JudgeRhondaWood⁩ ⁦@BridgetMaryMc⁩ https://t.co/sxHdvKqYNX

[Phil Weiser @pweiser]

Great to join so many leaders in our legal community to celebrate the progress in appointing more black women judges—and highlight the need to continue this important work of building a more diverse bench.

[Ed Walters @EJWalters]

If #lawtwitter has an institutional memory, this will be one of its favorites from the pandemic period. Never gets old. Thanks @JudgeFergusonTX!

[BrookeMeyer @b_meyerw]

Thank you, to all on the @COAttnyGeneral’s team for your dedication to public service, equal rights, and maintaining professionalism during the weirdest #SCOTUS hypotheticals and questions I’ve ever heard. Ever.

[Phil Weiser @pweiser]

Proud of our team’s great work defending Colorado’s anti discrimination law and equal rights before #SCOTUS.

[BrookeMeyer @b_meyerw]

Yes, Wonderful opportunity and wonderful organization indeed! I look forward to seeing continued change in the legal profession because of IAALS’ hard work.

[BrookeMeyer @b_meyerw]

“Unlearning urgency culture is a process” that the legal profession must embrace.

[Dr. Nicole LePera @Theholisticpsyc]

Urgency culture has us feeling like we have to be in connection 24/7 and respond immediately. It places unhealthy expectations on ourselves and other people.

Here's how to get out of the cycle...

Late, but wholeheartedly YES

[Ben Barton @benbartonutlaw]

Super extra grateful for all @BridgetMaryMc accomplished as Chief Justice and especially for her keen understanding of lawyerless courts. She will be sorely missed.
