Office of the High Sheriff

they took the lawyers' names off the online daily court docket (court calendar) jer-remote.justice.gov.nl.ca/index.php?wd... -- this removes one of my backup strategies to make sure I've calendared all my forthcoming court appearances and filing deadlines, OMG

I think I'm gonna double down on this and assert that it is hugely problematic that people think this is funny, rather than clocking it as a demonstration of the man's attitude towards consent around others' physical boundaries

I'm so sorry to see this very sad news. You'll be in my thoughts today.

this is "funny" but it should be recognized as classic IPV abuser behaviour, too; anybody getting a sinking feeling in their stomach on reading this knows what I'm talking about

an article years ago related that he made everybody at the table order steak, even if one didn't want it -- same thing

if anything will make me quit this profession once and for all it won't be looney tunes clients, kafka-esque local court registries, or opposing counsel from hell; it'll be our practice management software consistently opening windows w/ the title bar high above the limit of my computer screen

daylight saving time only means more hours in the day for me to scrape white supremacist bullshit stickers off the glass at the bus stop shelter, you nazi arseholes

just found a fundamental difference between limitations dates in Newfoundland and Labrador as compared to Pennsylvania and I'm shook

(I haven't blown a client's deadline; it just makes this case more interesting than I'd thought it was gonna be)

another one where I'm loving the responses, but (1) between privacy issues and gothic family history I'm 100% opting out; and, again, (2) not today, cop

I was a single mom in my 30s while in law school; I planned out my weeks to the half-hour

when the 22-year-olds complained about the workload, all I could say was "we all have the same 24 hours in a day"

I'm certain that it's trivially easy to identify me but I don't have to make it any easier (and the world doesn't need to know everything about me, either)

2 pages of "Scotus's bullshit reasoning can go fuck itself" and then 3 lines of "CBP has to give back the tariffs."

This is judicial economy that I can get behind.

I'm loving reading everybody else's responses but (1) not today, cop; and (2) actually TBH I don't think there's anything super way out there about the silly/stupid things I've done in my life or about my personal characteristics
