kinda wish intro legal writing classes would make at least one assignment where your client's position is doomed. teach you how to deal with a very real situation.
I think it's safe to say now without jinxing it.
today's good news is that i received confirmation that not only will i be working a SLIP Internship in DOJ Tax this summer, it will be with the Appellate subdivision!

i despise video or audio based info. in one ear out the other. give me text goddamn it i don't have time to listen to your oral communication plod along.
The bit about reading faster than people can talk hits home for me. Listening to video (or audiobooks or podcasts) is like processing information in slow motion.
Also, we should talk about how people tend to trust video more, and how thatβs messing with critical thinking.
I am pleased and honored to announce that today I am starting an externship with the SEC Scholars Program as a Law Student Trainee!
I am working remotely for the NY Regional Office in the Division of Enforcement.
If being a lawyer has taught me anything, it is this: Lawyers are insecure.
Negotiating SMB M&A deals should, on the face of it, be a reasonably collaborative affair.
Each side has certain interests, sure. But ultimately, both buyer and seller want the same thing.
So why is it
"Hi X,
Great job on this assignment-your research was exactly what I asked for. You did an excellent job marshaling both controlling and persuasive authority, and you presented it in a concise, easy to follow format. Much appreciated!

something interesting i learned here at doj tax appellate - a lot of these lawyers are not tax lawyers, and had no tax experience before coming to this org
instead, they're litigators and appellate lawyers first
my new trick is going to a family-style red sauce joint and taking home three days worth of dinner, which comes out at a steal amortized over three nights

For those who don't understand how Twitter worked back in the 140-character era: the point was microblogging. Making your point with a short and sweet statement, not blogging, which you could buy a website and post there (and you can still do that).
assuaging my anxiety by artificially coming to terms with worst case scenario - if i don't clerk right away, i'll clerk later
im doing well enough at school right now that i *will* get a good first job that will keep doors open for me
Disney is arguing that the arbitration clause of the TOS the decedent agreed to when signing up for a Disney+ free trial covers a wrongful death claim relating to food served at a Disney restaurantβ¦
Good luck with that.

my tax professor who i actually love; brilliant man who knows the subject incredibly well; very clearly quite neurodivergent; could not teach comprehendably. absolutely too deep in the subject to be teaching intro Fed Tax.
After TikTok star Keith Lee posted his glowing review of Amici, the struggling family-run restaurant in Chicago sold out of food hours before closing time. π₯Ή
he taught an entertainment law class here at georgetown, last semester.
i'd go into the main lobby and see secret service everywhere and think, "ah, doug's in the building."
