An open mind, who believes in the spirit of hope and that great things always happen for those that dare to hope.

[Bill Ables, Esq. @lawyer_humor]

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.

@NationAfrica How can you become irrelevant if your chama has over 150 members of Parliament?

[SirJester @JesterSirr]

It's clear this country doesn't take
1.2B or $11.5M seriously. Our financial laws and oversight are barely functioning. At this point, we might as well legalize corruption and just tax it.

@khamusini @OleItumbi Mandamus is issued to a public body, government body or public authority.. The court is none of the above.. Certiorari is more like it.

[Jeff kiaraho 💙 ⚖️ @jeffdistinct]

@OleItumbi Absence from your own proceeding and subsequent ruling is enough ground to conclude that the excise was unfair.. In law it's called Audi Alteram Partem (Let the other side be heard) It's the pivot of Natural Justice.

@sholard_mancity The dorm was over occupied, schools will need to have fire extinguishers, emergency exits and fire sensors,the windows need to be grill free.. I commend the school for having cctv cameras. May the young souls rest in peace and justice be served.

@bakhita_esther Be that as it maybe.. How does perpetual wrong make it right?

[Jeff kiaraho 💙 ⚖️ @jeffdistinct]

@kipmurkomen Why cant the government forego taxes for 1-3months on fuel.. Also negotiate lower landing cost,cut all the gatekeepers who add their cut to the landing cost.. Is Uganda better at negotiating lower prices?

[Cyprian, Is Nyakundi @C_NyaKundiH]

This fuel increase is economic terrorism against Kenyans.

Petrol is up, Diesel is up. Transport will go up, food will go up, power backups will become more expensive, and every small business will be squeezed again.

You cannot keep looting, overtaxing and mismanaging a country, then punish citizens at the pump and call it regulation.

[Caroline Oduor @OduorACaroline]

The art of cross-examination is knowing when to press, when to pause and when to stop.

A few rules every trial advocate learns sometimes the hard way:
• Never ask a question you do not already know the answer to.
• Never argue with the witness. Control the witness.
• Ask short, precise questions. Long questions create escape routes.
• One fact per question. One objective per line of attack.
• Do not chase every inconsistency. Chase the material ones.
• Listen carefully. Some witnesses destroy themselves if you simply let them speak.
• Do not ask “why” unless you are prepared for a speech.
• Never ask the final question if you already made the point. Many cases collapse because counsel became greedy for “one more answer.”

A good cross-examination weakens testimony.
A great one changes the entire case
