    How to meet.....

    A black guy in my office has no trouble meeting white or black women. He just treats both the same way. Just walk over and talk -- whether there is one or ten. I've learned a lot from him.

    summer associate suit advice

    I work for a plaintiff's firm, so we're a little more liberal when it comes to clothes. Suits are only needed when going to court or meeting a client. However, I've noticed that the summer interns at the large firms I oppose usually don't dress too well. They'll have one wrinkled suit and...

    Buzz Words that are annoying

    First, you guys are making a lot of assumptions about my legal writing, and now my legal thinking, based on the fact that I've used "to wit." That's a huge jump in logic that's pretty baseless. In fact, I don't think there was anything that wasn't straightforward about what I wrote, even with...

    Buzz Words that are annoying

    That's why it pays to go to a top 49 law school. Your post reminds me of other annoying words and phrases, to wit: 1. Bottom of the top tier law school; 2. Upscale; 3. Strategic thinking; and 4. Value added.

    Buzz Words that are annoying

    Good for you! I'm not saying you can't win if you use the term. I just personally don't like it. Can I borrow your purple suit?

    Buzz Words that are annoying

    "For example" doesn't fit because I listed all of the violations. "Including" doesn't fit because it doesn't tell the Judge that I'm listing all of the examples. I.e. is no good because it wasn't a paranthetical, and it shouldn't be used in formal writing outside of a paranthetical. Next. If you...

    Buzz Words that are annoying

    I do it because, sometimes, there is just no better way to say things, and I know that a judge will understand what I mean. For example, from a brief I wrote recently: "these recent violations are simply the latest in a long list of violations, to wit,[lists the rest of the violations]..." My...

    police encounters

    You gain nothing be mouthing off to a police officer. They are trained to gain control of the situation -- even if it means illegally arresting you or giving you a fake ticket. This happens all the time, every day, in every city. Get their badge number, or the number of their police car and...

    Strategic Thinking???

    Strategic thinking sounds like a buzzword used only in offices where your boss wears a bluetooth headset, a cell-phone belt clip, and khakis to work. Not that there's anything wrong with that... (but there is).
