Today Is Problem Avoidance Tuesday.

I'm with Rat. I think I have figured out why I prefer being alone most days, as I age. Let's make it go viral.

Your Honor, My Client Acted With Good Intentions.

An old lawyer once told me that the secret to a successful law practice was the following: "When you are weak on the facts, pound on the law. When you are weak on the law, pound on the facts. And, when you are weak on both the facts and the law, pound on the table." Sometimes, however, you might invoke the mighty spirit of the law defense.

Xmas Shopping. It's That Time Of Year.

On Thanksgiving, The Bird Is The Word.

The Execupundit Traditional Thanksgiving Rules.

More serious than my Ten reasons to be thankful there weren't lawyers on the Mayflower, Michael Wade's ten rules for Thanksgiving serve a loftier purpose. Remember why we sit down and give thanks, and don't spoil it.

 

 

#WhyIAmASolo - I Can Practice Law Anywhere.

Okay, even BigLaw partners can practice law anywhere if they use modern technology. But, I want one of these chairs to put in the RV. Then, hit the road and have everything I need to be RV Lawyer. Just bring me food and water, bathroom and a shower, and I'm set.

The Birth Of Stoicism.

Who knew? Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius and Seneca were hanging out in the man cave debating sports, drinking and farting, and, presto, philosophy was born!
