Roger_Mudd posted:Wrong profession to be honest. Litigators get paid for conflict. I love my job and only get litigation files when the usual litigators are out of the office on holidays or something.  My usual practice typically does not have me interacting with litigators. For example, I just spent my morning writing an opinion that involved resolving how to deal with a dead body being locked in a permafrost tomb, so the occasional lovely opposing counsel is a small price to pay.

Tipps posted:I love my job and only get litigation files when the usual litigators are out of the office on holidays or something. Are you trying to lock the body in there or get it out? I wish I'd known years ago to not try being nice to opposing litigators that made me angry, because I ended up making myself sick trying to repress the rage. Once I let it out I was much healthier (psychically, probably not mentally).

It's hard to tell how old it is, so it could have historical value as some sort of ice mummy (unlikely). Though at the very least, it would upset any living family to know that great grandpa joe who died on the land had his popsicle body accidentally cut in two by the backhoe digging him out. There's also the lesser issues of deciding whether or not it is technically a disinterment since we can't tell if it was formally entombed or whether it was an accident, and to decide which jurisdiction owns it and whose coroner has to do the paperwork.

Today, I tried to figure out if the third (possibly fifth) in line of allodial succession has a right to claim something called "åsete" (a special allodial-but-not-really right to super duper inherit a farm) from an old farmer's widow who's claimed the right of undivided estate (as in she's the legal-but-restricted owner of the entire estate until she croaks, then it's divided). It's loving hilariously complicated. I love allodial law.

The coroner breaks open the permafrost tomb. The mist clears. Next to the ice mummy are marks scratched into the ice, obviously done by the poor soul using the last bit of strength from his frostbitten fingertips: ᐳᔅᑦ ᑖ ᐄᒪᓪᔅ

You wouldn’t want to wear island clothing in the courthouse, anyway: the air conditioning runs full blast all the time to keep everything from getting moldy and it’s usually about 65 degrees in there.

nm posted:Does this apply if you only hawk it in the US? Yes. Unfortunately, due to the EEA (I assume) ethics and such is considered pretty much borderless. It sort of harmonizes with the fact that any citizen can be prosecuted for anything that's a crime both here and abroad, regardless of prior convictions in said country (pretty much the only exception to double jeopardy I know of offhand). E: I mean I'm not saying I'm not considering it anyway

Echopapa, when someone on Rota or Tinian is arrested for something, what happens? Do they have courthouses there? Do they fly them to Saipan? How does that poo poo work? Do they fly the witnesses? Do they fly the lawyers and judge there? edit: I'm looking at this court calendar, how are there so many loving civil cases? Is every company on the island suing everyone? http://www.justice.gov.mp/uploads/Sup._Crt._Cal_08.07.2017.pdf Tokelau All Star fucked around with this message at 09:32 on Aug 9, 2017 |
