Christine was interviewed by NPR about the sealing of Ken Paxton's divorce—and divorces in general. Link below.

So the worst genre is definitely dystopian nonfiction

we have a concept of a plan, your honor

1 in 10 emails produced in discovery is a really obscure inside joke between two co-workers and I will dedicate multiple hours to understand it

First class trolling

We at CHA Law Group, PC are honored to join as amici in Zurawski v. Texas. Along with our other amici, we proudly advocate for reproductive rights and clarity in Texas's medical emergency exceptions under abortion bans. Props to Reed Smith LLP and their attorneys for their work.

@zenlawyerjourn1 Clearly you have not spent much time with R.epublic of T.exas–type opposing parties (and lucky you)

[Judge Stephen Dillard @JudgeDillard]

This is a strong contender, courtesy of my old circuit.

@LouisaGhevaert @AdoptionandART @TrachmanLaw @stephenpagelaw @JudithHoechst Loved getting to know you in person, Louisa!

[Judge Roy Ferguson @JudgeFergusonTX]

I've had represented parties lose at trial against self-represented litigants, always because they lied to their lawyers. My favorite was an old divorce case where the husband had a lawyer and the wife didn't.
He brought a lawyer.
She brought receipts.
(A fun story 🧵.)

@KSVesq I believe privilege does apply if the lawyer is talking to the lawyer's own ethics counsel? As with most of my tweets and Facebook messages, this is without research and based on things I vaguely remember from law school or articles.

[Christine Henry Andresen @chalaw500]

@KSVesq A few weeks ago, I emailed a (male) law school friend about a good time for us to visit this summer in Boston and I think he thought I was crazy to ask so early... Should have emailed his wife.

@KSVesq I have upcoming Girl Scout camp reg on my calendar, and I might have filed that as a trial conflict on my cases? My eldest, meanwhile, does nothing but play video games and bike around with his friends like the older brother's friendgroup in E.T

[Christine Henry Andresen @chalaw500]

@ItsMattsLaw But I had one chin only then

@AudreyStJames1 It never gets old. True litigator says: I'm prepared to go forward with it. (I'm here live. I'm not a cat.)

Sometimes even when unopposed

[Matt Margolis @ItsMattsLaw]

Judge: maybe the real ruling is the friends we made along the way

Judge: oh and denied

[Christine Henry Andresen @chalaw500]

@ItsMattsLaw Me, a couple of weeks ago. (The petition was unopposed.)
