So I a new client came to me. She had signed a power of attorney to another attorney. She went into a coma, other attorney looted her estate. This should be a fun case.

You lucky SOB. Hopefully he didn't spend it all. Plus breach of fid duty in Texas against an attorney in Texas requires the attorney to prove everything he did was fair-- there's the presumption he did something wrong. Shee-yit.

What is happening? Even most of the fake pubs here have blasting music and have some stupid english theme. The theme of a pub isn't English it is beer. diospadre posted:What the gently caress is a pint 20 imperial ounces of beer. This is how beer is served, not in tiny 16oz glasses. edit: Or 500ml. Beer is not metric. nm fucked around with this message at 01:02 on Jun 28, 2012 |

Texas attorneys do throw a shitfit every time someone proposes that they adopt the model ethics rule that you can't sleep with your clients (unless you sleep with them before you represent them, etc etc gently caress you I take the MPRE in two months).

Oh, bonus, serious prediction: If the Court finds that it has jurisdiction and the Anti-Injunction Act does not apply to this penalty, I expect a slew of district court suits over the next year or so from the sovereign citizen crowd seeking to enjoin the collection of taxes and penalties as they take that holding vastly out of context.

evilweasel posted:6-3 uphold, dryly insane dissent from Thomas, frothing at the mouth insane dissent from Scalia. I agree. Possibility of a 5-4, with the same dissents, which I'm voting for because it'd throw more fuel on the "It's all polarizing! The Supreme Court and politics and the world and the sky is falling!" fire. When the Supreme Court has had a smaller proportion of opinions with dissents under Roberts than Rehnquist. It's just that most of the unanimous cases are things like "how many days do I have to file briefs?"

Dissent posted:Congress has set out to remedy the problem that the best health care is beyond the reach of many Americans who cannot afford it. It can assuredly do that, by exercising the powers accorded to it under the Constitution. Universal health care anyone?
