Remarks on the video of lawyer remarking on Rainmaker that Redress posted (#6):

1. Retainer agreements: you go line by line or paragraph by paragraph. You don't say "oh, yeah, it's standard and says X,Y,Z" broadly. Beyond the fact that this is what ethics requires, you don't want any trouble with billing/etc down the line. You owe it to the client, and it'd be stupid to gloss over something that might cause a problem later even if you were allowed to gloss over it.

2. Find you were bugged (and it wasn't by the authorities), you go to the authorities. You make a record. You get defense counsel disbarred and arrested. (I suppose the lawyer suggested bringing it to the judge there, but they did not have proof at that time that it was the defense team that did it. The judge would hand it off to the police).

3. All you really need is (1) to have your head screwed on right, the name, a rough date range if told about a case in that fashion. You know the issue you want it for so you just search for "name(THE NAME)" in the proper jurisdiction - S.W.2d. refers to a number of states, so you'd check off all the boxes - and quickly skim the cases with the name in the right date range, (2) just go back and do a legal search for the terms used. Maybe something like "us! /p (stol! /5 evid!)" to start. See how many cases come up, whether you need to tighten or loosen the search, etc. That'd get you cases in which "us" followed by various possible endings is in the same paragraph as "stol" and "evid", so long as those two are within five words of each other. This could get you cases where the phrase "use of stolen evidence" is stated differently. ie, "evidence that was stolen may not be used." Etc. The more cases from a given court you've read about the issue, the better you'll know how they talk about a given issue, the better you'll know how to structure a search; bearing in mind, of course, that the way courts like to talk about an issue changes over time.

That must have must have been set in the days of paper. But even then, you did roughly the same thing by a different route. I was actually quite good at finding cases on paper (despite LEXIS and Westlaw offering students free subs in law school, we were required to do paper research).


And since I don't want to muck up my own thread

I watched this a while ago. John Cleese and Michael Palin of Monty Python debate clergy about how horrible The Life of Brian supposedly is.

Last living witness of Lincoln's assassination, speaking in 1956. Unfortunately the setting is a game show, but still . . .

Musicless Musicvideo / The Rolling Stones - Start Me Up

I enjoy watching videos of people acting stupid. Much better comedy gold than anything a Hollywood TV show could script.

WHEN YOU JOIN THE WRONG MOVEMENT

It's uplifting until it's heartbreaking. I'm not sure if I'm recommending it or what. It is something.

I always find these things interesting, as long as they aren't prosletyzing (the commercials though). I'm not religious, so I don't treat these as any kind of evidence of anything supernatural. But I don't think they're all lying about having subjective experiences they describe. (Unlike that poor kid whose dad put him to say he met Jesus or whatever it was...that scandal)



We've increasingly observed the process of death. (tl;dr ____ various bits take different times to shut down, and in different ways). I am not surprised that people on the edge have strange mental experiences.

At times it seems to play off what a person is thinking beforehand...



(Sounds very much like a lucid dream, absent the understanding)

Anyone watching this dude's restorations?



He restores old objects that look hopeless, including metal work, woodworking, and finishing. If a part isn't fixable, he makes it himself. I find it pretty fascinating. This rusted padlock is especially cool.

Don't seem to be able to link to video on Reddit so that it plays as media from here, so...
