That's pretty opimistic, Mr. Manafort.

Go to xoxohth.com - spend the day reading what's going on there and report back. It will be fun.

Like the other poster noted, it's a shadow of it's former self and dying forum of elder millennials (sound familiar?) and is now just basically Stormfront.

You can add me to the OP if you want. I do read the thread and occasionally post. I’m a Crown Prosecutor in Canada, which just means I’m a prosecutor. I’m happy to talk to anyone about criminal law practice in Canada broadly and prosecutions specifically. I can’t talk about any big law things but my partner is a defence lawyer so I have a good overall sense of both sides of criminal practice.

Hello new thread.

I am a gov lawyer working in the Canadian Arctic. My day to day practice involves walruses, caribou, and polar bears. I once had to write an opinion about who owns the remains of an iceman found buried in permafrost.

My advice to all newly called lawyers: go wherever you need to to get a good job, even if that place doesn't get sunlight for half the year.

E: my daily summer schedule made it into the OP :3:

Any surviving family gets first dibs. Otherwise, he/it becomes the custody of the government as a historical artifact!

(like a lot of my files, I never got news about how it ended up. I assume, since I haven't heard about the government's acquisition of a new iceman, that someone claimed him)

I don't own any seal skin products because I am whiter than the snow that surrounds me and I don't want to be appropriative.

Also fun fact about that lawyer: he boasts on his website about having been a professor at Thomas M Cooley School of Law.

The thing about words is that meanings can twist just like a snake, and if you want to find snakes, look for them behind words that have changed their meaning.

Surely this falls under some anti-dumping provision of NAFTA.

Also, oh hey new thread, great OP, and page 3 is infested with Canadians so here's one more: I'm a recovering cyberlaw panda that actually lucked out and works as agency counsel at a federal regulator/admin tribunal (and have thus learned to hate pretty much the exact person I used to be).

After most of a decade since graduating, I owe only slightly more money to the government for student loans than the government owes me for somehow having been incapable of paying its employees accurately for the past four years. By "going to law school" standards this is probably a win (don't go).

My boss vouched for his evidence class at Osgoode as well, but this was a while ago.

It seems like he really started to slip as time went by. No one quite knows why - but saucy details will inevitably come out in the disciplinary hearings.
