Gleri posted: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. Crown buddies

I heard his evidence class was pretty good. Unless we're talking about different arctic lawyers who are going down on allegations of forging and submitting court dox to marry more than one woman

A lot of the principles of practice from US seem and sound familiar to me, but the sentencing tariffs sound so bizarre and disproportionate. Blow someone away with a shotgun in Canada and you (maybe) get 10 years. Then I hear about other publicized cases where relatively serious offences end up with pretty light sentences. Difficult to reconcile, best I can figure is that the media doesnt do a good job / cherry picks sentences, and also that the states really loving comes down on offenders

Pretty cool judicial nomination process you got there. Full, open hearings lead to hyper partisan judges who openly talk about Democrat conspiracies or whatever. I guess that's one way to end up with a legislative supreme court enforcing its particular policy preferences behind a mask of legal reasoning. Hail nazi lochner

I really have to stop engaging with american politics. There's always more and it's always worse. Republicans are going to nominate a guy to a lifetime position who at his confirmation was literally threatening to exact revenge on the other end of the political spectrum. There's no bottom. Even if you dont believe the rape stuff (but you should), there's no denying his partiality and injudiciousness- he displayed it in sworn loving testimony Aaaaaa

Pook Good Mook posted:It's not about actually getting him to recuse himself. It's so Democrats are constantly reminded why you show up on election day. I actually have no troublee believing he was levitating off the ground by the force of sheer loving incredulousness and rage at the time he wrote it. Catholic prep school kid turned Republican in house sex lawyer is probably not very used to have women contradict him in public and reacted pretty predictably to it.

Get a government job, live in a small town where you can buy a cheap and nice house, marry another lawyer with a government job, console yourself for not living in the big city by loving on a big pile of stress free money every night. That's my advice

I had some moose tenderloin the other day I could cut with my fork. It was unbelievably flavorful and tender. Moose meat rules. Its also helpful that they're huge plentiful animals made out of meat too.

Pook Good Mook posted:Something that was talked about in the Trump(!) thread that I agree with is that people like Wohl (people who identify with Gordon Gecko) view the world as entirely transactional and can't conceive of someone like Dr. Ford nuking their career due to a moral compulsion. To them, life is a scoreboard and money is points. Its not that complicated. There's a whole ecosystem of right wing welfare, from the supreme court on down, and it attracts guys like Wohl because you just have to be dishonest. The grift is so loving simple, it doesnt require you to do anything other than tow the line and get paid. The big minds of the new right are like ben shapiro and Jordan Peterson, guys who are one step above needing a drool cup. They're just dumb and liars and are willing to bend that towards making money in the easiest way possible, which is doing stupid poo poo like diaping up for campus open carry or whatever stupid poo poo

Lol great system where you can have complete turnover of the judiciary based solely on the whim of the hooting, oinking herd. Sure a bunch of poc women won this time, but that'll just be undone by fox and local news running non stop stories about white women getting murdered by brown immigrants and activist liberal judges not doing enough to execute them and close the borders and otherwise maga

Concept of politically partisan judges is probably more corrosive to the legitimacy of the court than just about anything I can think of other than them just openly taking money to decide cases.

When I hear all these internet horror stories of prosecutors who don't understand the basic responsibilities / purpose of their jobs, I can't decide if it owes to a culture difference where maybe prosecutors are that bad in the states, or just defence whining about the other side as they usually do.

ActusRhesus posted:I’d say “be patient. We’ll be rid of him soon.” But seeing as the Dems don’t seem to want to actually put forward winable presidential candidates, we’re probably stuck for another 6. The mindset of waiting for some cop to expose all of trump's crimes as if anyone is going to care is pretty special. Democrats really just do not like winning or power. Just wait til Mueller gets Trump and problem solved., as if "collusion" will make more of a difference to the electorate than Trump's well documented last 3 decades of raping, lying, and stealing
