Appellate Rules groupie; co-author NC Appellate Practice and Procedure; dare you to ask me about my bots.

So excited to announce that my appellate practice treatise with Matt Leerberg is finally in print. To all those who supported and encouraged us--thank you! To those who provided feedback on various chapters and answered questions--thank you even more. W…https://t.co/krEguU4NoQ

@Amazon will no longer tell customers before a purchase is made if Amazon’s touted  “free” returns will be restricted to a 60-mile trip—rather than allowing customers to print labels themselves and drop packages into a nearby UPS Dropbox or Amazon locker. #amazonstinks

@AmazonHelp @janieks Similar. Amazon says Address not found when Amazon delivers packages almost daily to my address. #ihateamazon

[Beth Brooks Scherer @SchererAppeal]

@AmazonHelp 4th time in 2 months. Screwed up orders, lied about packages, and hours wasted of my time. Like today, 40 minutes waiting for CS to get a fix approved and Amazon drops the call without fixing anything. Can’t believe I’m saying it. #IhateAmazon

As iron sharpens iron, one Fox appellate lawyer sharpens another. I love what I do because of the people I get to work with. #appellatetwitter #NCAppRules https://t.co/9DfKXmE5xp

Dogwood v. White Oak—15 years old today! Can anyone else vividly remember that day? I was shaking with excitement (and anxiety) waiting for the PDF of Justice Mark Martin’s opinion to open. Happiest insurance defense lawyer on the planet that day calling…https://t.co/0CLeLP2XgH

Supreme Court of NC has quickly swooped in to fix a potential service trap for NOA’s efiled in Odyssey. #supremecourt #appellatetwitter #ncapprules https://t.co/g4IbQ4ymTP

@jfleming2870 @pmkane78 @troydshelton Joel—I’m sorry for your bad experience, but your assumptions about Matt Leerberg are dead wrong. He’s the hardest working and most selfless lawyer I know. I hope that one day you find colleagues that make you as grateful for your “work family” as I am of mine.

[Beth Brooks Scherer @SchererAppeal]

@troydshelton 100 percent agree @troydshelton . I’ve worked with Matt his entire career. He’s a kind, generous and thoughtful colleague and boss. We work darn hard to ensure that we protect the family time of our Fox appellate team—and Matt is at the core of that culture.

Important eCourts update: The October 10 launch date of the eCourts integrated case management system has been postponed to a date to be determined. Here is the memorandum from AOC Director Andrew Heath. An email will be sent to lawyers shortly. @WakeCountyBar

[Beth Brooks Scherer @SchererAppeal]

@dangibsonatty @TheRealMattDowd Lol. But please don’t auto-hyphenate.

[Beth Brooks Scherer @SchererAppeal]

@dangibsonatty @TheRealMattDowd SCOTUS can quote rap lyrics, use curse words and emojis, or chastise opposing counsel or the trial judge. But that doesn’t mean I should do it in my brief.

[Beth Brooks Scherer @SchererAppeal]

The State (and aspiring law scholars) are fortunate to have former Chief Justice Mark Martin back in North Carolina! Matt Leerberg has the scoop. #ncapb #ncapprules #appellatetwitter https://t.co/2WFCvohGVC

[Beth Brooks Scherer @SchererAppeal]

Truth!!

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

Short, temporary moments of forgetfulness are happening to more of us more often these days, memory experts say.

[Beth Brooks Scherer @SchererAppeal]

@dangibsonatty She’s 100 Percent right. I can’t recall the last time I was able to finish an entire cup of coffee. Do you think I have time to French press it?!?

[Joe Regalia @writedotlaw]

Why I often use Justice Kagan to teach good writing.

You can randomly pick up just about anything this Justice writes and find dozens of simple, repeatable moves that so very much help readers.

Someone challenged me to do that with the first few pages of her decision today.
