OC should be sanctioned.

Wednesday my dad passed out at work and yesterday morning he went to doctor and was immediately sent to ER, and they admitted him. He was set for emergency surgery in like 3 hours. I asked for an extension from OC to go to them. OC said no. So, don't be like OC.

@JoeDudekJD Oh no; I’m sorry.

Remember attorneys, if you dismiss or nonsuit a case during October, a Spirit Halloween takes its place.

@DougtheLawyer Congrats!

Me: one geriatric Beta fish, bluish purple; lethargic; floaty with occasional gill-flaring; no known history of biting.

@SteveBresnen Thanks Steve. There is a separate panel for that though.

Hi #appellatetwitter folks. I’m moderating a terrific Texas Courts of Appeals panel at the upcoming Advanced Civil Appellate CLE in Austin. What questions would you like the panel justices to answer?

Legal writing pro tip: if there is only one of the thing at issue in your document, you don’t have to capitalize the thing as a defined term.

Wife and I are fostering this muppet until he gets over a skin infection. (He was on the euth list at a South Texas shelter and my friends at Petco Charities grabbed him.)

I’m not even sure this website is used for such things anymore, but is any Texas appellate lawyer here interested in a plaintiff’s side Fifth Circuit employment appeal? DM or email me if interested. #lawtwitter #appellatetwitter

Trying to catch up on work after a long vacation and, let me tell you, do not recommend.

[Ryan Clinton @ryanclinton]

@estockbridge Geez, that’s terrible. I’m sorry.

[Ryan Clinton @ryanclinton]

@KatzD Yep. I’ve wondered if the requests for mistrial might slow down.

[Ryan Clinton @ryanclinton]

Okay here’s my question. If the judge is baking so much error into this trial that a guilty verdict will not stand on appeal (which he is), exactly whose side is he really helping?
