"The credit belongs to the man who in the arena - whose face is marred by dust, sweat, blood; who strives valiantly - who errs but courageously shouts USE THIS ONE PLEASE; if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly."

So my rockstar wife now has a Mastodon account: https://mastodon.social/@dineen

She's a Florida lawyer who's Bar-certified in Appellate Law and Intellectual Property Law (and is the only human being on the planet who has both).

Among other things, she's recently been handling some #scheduleA cases.

She's still cooking up her #introduction post, so go follow her so you see when it drops.

On the bird site, there's an appellate community I'd tag.

Who does #appellatelaw here?

Note to self:

When writing a brief on behalf of client in a child abuse case, there is a material difference between "soothe" and "smoothe".

Not all typos are equal.

Proof read quickly at your client's risk.

For those interested, the link is to my annotated copy of today’s opinion from the 11th Circuit, dismissing the special master appointed by Aileen Cannon on ground that she wholly wrongly took jurisdiction over the case in the first place. I’ve annotated with the aim of making the opinion, which is clearly written anyway, even more accessible to non-lawyers. #lawFedi #ruleOfLaw #11thCircuit #appellateLaw https://drive.google.com/file/d/1B7kUUWiE2RdL2opmEl_qW9zy65-PHAN-/view?usp=drivesdk

What form of schadenfreude is it, when you take glee in finding typos in "official" publications?
