One of my most deeply contrarian beliefs is that lawyers would be better served completely ditching Word. Not for “Microsoft is evil” reasons but for “Word’s UX is fundamentally distracting for almost all legal tasks” reasons.

@luis_in_brief @[email protected] @[email protected] @luis_in_brief Including that “lawyers” are not actually a market, so selling to them profitably is hard to do and therefore software for the market is hard to get funding for. Also ultimately you have to use Word as a key part of the UX, which puts an upper bound on how non-shit your solution can be.

The Nicole Sandler Show - Questioning Authority Daily
.When Barb McQuade was on on the @nicolesandler show Nicole asked about Trump's threats to judges. Barb said Trump KNOWS his followers will act. What I wanted to know WHY are there so few arrests of the people making threats? I wanted to know more about what's behind Law Enforcement's "Reluctance to Investigate" (Which was a headline from a section in chapter 5 in her book, Attack From Within. ) https://www.youtube.com/live/HsKNqidhLUY?si=6fcvPbnCa8KSltqw&t=1619

New Question for @Teri_Kanefield #LawyersOfMastodon

After the case is decided, does the #GagOrder still apply to #Trump?
What if #Trump attacks #JudgeEngoron AFTER the trial is over while the case is on appeal?

Does the appellate judge need to set new pretrial conditions Trump has to abide by about not threatening people?

And convince me that professional development isn't a money grab... #lawfedi #inhousecounsel #LawyersOfMastodon

We rank law schools and make assumptions about the intellect of those who attend and those who do not attend highly ranked schools.

- We rank students in law school.

- We rank law firms and law positions (did you clerk at the federal or state court at the trial level or appellate level, did you get hired at BigLaw?).

- Legal employers ascribe meaning to these rankings and positions. 2/

Question for @Teri_Kanefield
What can the Judge do if she sees threats to witnesses on #TruthSocial?
Can the Judge issue a narrowly tailored protective order against #Trump? If #TFG threatens witnesses on social media, can #JackSmith then add new charges for #WitnessTampering? #JusticeMatters

I sent this to Glenn Kirschner on #Twitter #X because he's not here, but this is a question for #LawyersOfMastodon & my #ContentModeration friends about #SocialMedia

@kevinbeynon @liebach This sounds like something where @neil and the rest of the #LawyersOfMastodon might have a better answer than the rest of us.
