@jimmy_esq kind of an odd point below given that the house oversight committee has repeatedly said that it need not recognize the a/c privilege

@HughLouisDewey As I commented below, Eric is also incorrect. He is quoting the DC superior court local rules, which permit the chief judge to reassign cases sua sponte. The DDC local rules do not! Reassignments have to go though the Calendar and Case Managment committee.

[rakespro @rakespro]

@EWess92 eric those are the local rules for the superior court of DC. The DDC local rules provide no such power to the chief judge.

John Morley’s piece is a modern classic and essential reading on the Weil collapse. As he recognizes, this has deeper implications for Henry Hansmann’s point that worker-owned law firms succeed because the partnership is usually interest-aligned. Maybe less so in today’s market?

[David Zaring @ZaringDavid]

Two instances of people comparing biglaw to banks. This arguing for deferred compensation to handcuff partners to their firms, and John Morley arguing that the partnership model leads to runs, as partners try to beat each other out the door. Why not both? https://t.co/ppjR3122fT

@HughLouisDewey @ItsMattsLaw reyes simply not old enough to be doing this kind of senior judge posting

@JesterInABarrel it’s closer to a year (e.g. a motion filed in october 2026 would end up on the september 27 list). and some of the effect must be that harder or more complex cases take longer to write and thus are more likely to run up against the deadline

[rakespro @rakespro]

@JesterInABarrel totally normal (even in other professions). did they at least send you an offer letter?

[rakespro @rakespro]

@ASFleischman worth noting that Cobell was a truly insane case: see, e.g., https://t.co/4YbBnVGXHW

@Unlearned_Hand i’d agree, but how happy would you be with your agency client as they put another nail in the coffin of the presumption of regularity?

[rakespro @rakespro]

@neogreenlantern @AriCohn it’s an (incorrect) gloss on FCC v. Pacifica and related cases which discuss how broadcasting receives “the most limited first amendment protection” among all “mediums of expression”

@AshleySchapitl bad take — if you are ever arrested you should hope your lawyer makes any reasonably persuasive legal argument he or she can

[rakespro @rakespro]

@BenevolusLeland @PitBottomSuper why isn’t is straightforward to say, for a corporation, “the private opinions of the majority shareholders and management, both of whom define what a corporation ‘says,’ might be different than the entity’s public speech”

[rakespro @rakespro]

@HabCorpLinguist obviously some notable misses and questionable inclusions here but if you want a book rec pick up shapiro’s legality — not only a great intro to previous strands of thought in analytic jurisprudence but genuinely good in its own right
