Somatic Coach & Lawyer practicing at the intersection of embodiment + advocacy (she/they)

[Lindsey Frischer @lfrische]

@inspiredcat The data (also detached numbers) continues to speak to the impact of institutionalized law, and how it dehumanizes and disembodies all involved, especially the practitioners. #LegalTech where’s the unsubscribe button? Let’s imagine new ways to embody advocacy, to serve justice.

And, this just hit my inbox.

"Most law students are struggling with mental health issues, according to a new Bloomberg Law survey. Over 75% of student respondents reported increased anxiety because of law school-related issues, and over 50% reported experiencing depression."

Someone once told me being a lawyer is like being a surgeon except there is another surgeon in the room trying to kill your patient while you are trying to save them. After tough moments with opposing counsel I think about that quote and laugh.

creating an awesome toolkit for their 2022 Legal Design Derby. We borrowed the toolkit for a mini-design sprint in class!

The challenge: How might students and law schools prepare for future paradigms of legal services delivery?

[Lindsey Frischer @lfrische]

What do you imagine is possible in transforming the practice of law?

@CanPanicNow It’s embarrassing, just-is

@Clevy_Law Trying on “No” as a complete sentence.

@CanPanicNow Holding the contradiction of lawyering: being in and a part of an oppressive system

Legal practitioners: How do we bring justice into the legal system?

We can’t have an intellectually honest conversation about the “future of the Republic” without acknowledging one fact that everyone seems to overlook. And if you aren’t going to say it, then I can’t take your “Democracy-is-on-the-ballot” opinion piece seriously.

A thread.

Today I watched a judge get upset b/c an attorney said during a bail application that the family had not been able to save enough money to buy their loved one’s freedom. She didn’t like that characterization of bail. Which leads me to ask, what do judges think bail is?

@KristineHadeed Written right into the 13th amendment and adopted in many state constitutions, this exception clause is one very real way modern day slavery exists and our racialized economy continues to exploit its laborers.

[Kristine @organizediron17]

Also amplifying that voters in 5 states (Alabama, Louisiana, Oregon, Tennessee and Vermont) have a chance to abolish penal slavery in their constitution this November.

Colorado was the first to do so.

We can end slavery at the local level.

I believe the main difference is that one will see you later and the other will see you in awhile. I could be wrong, I'm not a zoologist.
