#appellatejobs alert! @ClarkHillLaw is looking to add an experienced appellate partner in TX. DM for more info. #appellatetwitter

@600camp Sometimes I feel like appellate jokes are the new dad jokes.

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

@RMFifthCircuit In my experience, it's always "tall buildin'" lawyers. (They never pronounce the "g.")

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

@5thCircAppeals Hall’s Standards of Review in Texas has a lot.

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

So, Texas #appellatetwitter folks, am I right in reading the 55th #SCOTX COVID order that remote jury trials are no longer permitted except by agreement?

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

@JusticeLandau Learning how appellate courts function internally and, especially, how they approach and analyze issues.

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

And now for something completely different…I’m arguing a tax court appeal.

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

@J_Dot_J @5thCircAppeals We got an "Objection, that’s BULLSHIT!” in my most recent trial. (Overruled.)

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

@dtoddsmith @OslerSCTX I sure hope his replacement continues sending out those convenient summaries.

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

Well that was quick - just received notice that all OAs Aug.30-Sept.2 are cancelled.

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

So...anyone else on #appellatetwitter have a #fifthcircuit argument scheduled in NOLA early next week during the hurricane? Could make travel interesting.

[Luke Bradley @lucasdrayton]

Absolutely unconscionable that my kids don't start their requests to me with a citation of the applicable standard of review. I need to know if this is coming from their friends (de novo), their teacher (abuse of discretion), or their mother (plain error only)

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

@dodrummond @TexAppOrg Thank you! I was perplexed!

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

@rbphillipsjr Been there, Rich. I know how you feel. Best of luck!

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

First in-person appellate argument in a year and it’s...in a basement. But I’ll take it! #appellatetwitter

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

@AlabamAppeals @sesamestreet I have had opposing counsel sing during an appellate argument. The court...was not amused.

[Steve Klepper @MDAppeal]

CDC reports that appellate lawyers can continue to voluntarily squirrel themselves away from society with a computer, Westlaw, and Twitter

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

Wondering if we should ask jurors to identify their cats. You know, for the record.

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

Serving as appellate counsel in my first zoom #jurytrial today. Starting voir dire now. It's... different. But cool all the same. #appellatetwitter

[Jadd Masso @jaddmasso]

Got an interesting win from #FifthCircuit today, re standing in #maritimelaw #productliability claims. Only users/consumers can sue, not bystanders. #5thCircuit adopted 2nd Restatement view, instead of 3rd. #appellatetwitter #productslaw
