Mitchel Forbes brought so much rural local governance knowledge to our seminar. In his infographic, he teaches us how to dissolve local governments in Alaska! ⬇️

The latest version of this involved me witnessing via FaceTime my slightly older nephew holding a pen to his mother and saying “I’ma pop you up”

Watching trouble brew via FaceTime as my 3 y/o nephew says “ok, stupid” to his mom

Thrilled to finally be done with the bar exam! Not looking forward to the 2.5-3 month wait for results, though.

@MarkSpringer Ah, I'll be taking DC's bar!

[Mitchell Forbes @mitchellforbes]

Less than a week to the bar

[Mitchell Forbes @mitchellforbes]

It's a niche Alaska reference, Joe Miller is one of those attorneys for me

[Keeks 🦋 @DietCoke_Esq]

No, you're going to pass the bar because you did the work. Make a list of 5 people who probably should not have passed the bar. If they can, you absolutely can too

[Mitchell Forbes @mitchellforbes]

Just ran into someone from my hometown as I was walking down the street near our apartment here in DC! Never know when you're going to run into rural Alaska folks.

[Mitchell Forbes @mitchellforbes]

Obviously I took Federal Indian Law in law school because that is the practice area I am going into, but every law student should try to take some sort of Native American law class! Don't take it from me—listen to Prof. Fletcher's thoughts below!

[Michigan Law School @UMichLaw]

Q: Why should every law student take Federal Indian Law?

Professor Matthew Fletcher shares his answer in the newest #BetterKnowAProfessor

Live look at @ThemisBar's server room (seriously this is third or fourth outage during the bar prep cycle and we're less than 3 weeks out from the exam)

@sewyupik When I was growing up my mom would mix up a glaze of equal parts soy sauce and brown sugar to spread on the top of the fillet. We'd then add lemon slices and onions on top before it went on the grill. It works in the oven, too; just with a lower temp otherwise the glaze may burn!

I hope folks know where to place the blame for the failure of student loan forgiveness. Say what you will about Joe Biden, but he did what he promised. And it was absolutely undone by the Court that his predecessor built.

[Mitchell Forbes @mitchellforbes]

Not the best time to be studying for the bar

final day of SCOTUS decisions

[Anthony Michael Kreis, FRHistS @AnthonyMKreis]

DO NOT TALK TO GAYS WITH LOAN DEBT TODAY

[Mitchell Forbes @mitchellforbes]

Apparently I have reached the stage of bar prep where the test has invaded my dreams 🫠

[Mitchell Forbes @mitchellforbes]

Now this is a stellar example of creative Tribal self-determination!

[Mitchell Forbes @mitchellforbes]

I have met that managing partner in Michigan and he represents large landlords in Ann Arbor

[Matt Margolis @ItsMattsLaw]

It's honestly disrespectful. There is a managing partner somewhere in Michigan working his hardest to absolutely crush the spirit of his associates for a fraction of the pay.

What about him, huh?

[Mitchell Forbes @mitchellforbes]

Spotted a @MarkSpringer quote in the @washingtonpost!

[Capital Weather @capitalweather]

In-depth: A weather television show that has served Alaskans since 1976 -- reaching vulnerable groups exposed to some of the harshest elements where internet is spotty/expensive -- will be discontinued this month. By @kaynolan_write: https://t.co/n1O1wG95Yg
