"If the #police conduct a warrantless search, they must justify their actions to the court. Your criminal law #attorney can also challenge the search, arguing that the police violated your #FourthAmendment rights."

"There are certain situations in which law enforcement may execute a search and seizure without a #warrant These situations include:

Consent
Brief stop (stop and frisk)
Evidence of crime in plain view
Exigent circumstances"

We may never find out how US #attorney Jessica Aber died, her cause of death still being unclear. Like the best #Columbo or #crime novel, she had so many enemies that it is difficult to work out which had the most pressing motive and the means to carry out a murder. Aber resigned shortly after #Trump's reelection, having investigated violent mobs, a corrupt governor, #Russians, industrial spies and #Israelis. All options look highly alarming to the rest of us living.

One thing that's odd about being an attorney is how different the different jobs you can have are and how few of us can really imagine ourselves doing the other stuff.

Like, I do criminal defense. I cannot imagine not being bored out of my mind if I had to do transactions or estates or something with a slower pace.

(Honestly, there are times I feel bored compared to the summer my office was understaffed and I had twice the case load I now carry)

sorry but this is RIDICULOUS

expecting that the 'staff' of doge witnesses honestly is (again) RIDICULOUS !
who should 'punish' them if they lie ?

#Pam #Bondi #trump cheerleader would not even go to pee
without first asking Trump autorization.
I understand that there are still honest judges who try to enforce the pre-trump laws
but
It is a desperate attempt.

Some UFOs may be hidden from our national leaders.

#CapitalHill #attorney Dillon Guthrie to #Mashable: "describes this #UFO loophole as a kind of 'definitional gap' ...
Congress has redefined what were formerly called 'unidentified flying objects' [#UFOs] to first 'unidentified aerial phenomena' [#UAP in 2021], and then the following year to 'unidentified anomalous phenomena' [also UAP] "

The word “#attorney” originates from the Old French term “atorné,” which is the past participle of “attourner,” meaning “to appoint” or “to assign”.

This term derived from “a-” (indicating movement towards something) and “torner” (to turn), literally meaning “one turned to” or “appointed”.

Today, in honor of Black History Month, we remember Flo Kennedy, who was born on this date February 11, 1916, in Kansas City, Missouri. Kennedy was a lawyer, feminist and civil-rights activist. As a lawyer, she represented Billie Holiday, Charlie Parker, Assata Shakur, H. Rap Brown, and Valerie Solanas (for her attempted murder of Andy Warhol). In 1972 she formed the Feminist Party and filed an Internal Revenue Service complaint alleging that the Catholic Church violates tax-exempt requirements by spending money to influence political decisions. "I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady . . . & a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me."

She grew up at a time when the KKK was quite active in Kansas City. She remembered her father had to have a shotgun to keep them safe. "My parents gave us a fantastic sense of security and worth. By the time the bigots got around to telling us that we were nobody, we already knew we were somebody." As a young woman, she moved to Harlem and enrolled at Columbia. She was refused admission to their law school because she “was a woman.” She knew it was because she was black. So, she threatened to sue them and they admitted her. She was the only black person among the eight women in her class.

As an activist, she once said, "we have a pathologically, institutionally racist, sexist, classist society. And that niggerizing techniques that are used don't only damage black people, but they also damage women, gay people, ex-prison inmates, prostitutes, children, old people, handicapped people, native Americans. And that if we can begin to analyze the pathology of oppression… we would learn a lot about how to deal with it." As early as 1966, she was picketing and lobbying the media over their portrayal of Black people. She played a prominent role in the protest against the 1968 Miss America Pageant. After the Attica prison uprising, she said, “We do not support Attica. We ARE Attica.” She also participated in the 1973 protests at Harvard over the lack of women’s bathrooms. When asked why she participated in the pouring of urine on the steps of Lower Hall, she said, “I'm just a loud-mouthed middle-aged colored lady with a fused spine and three feet of intestines missing and a lot of people think I'm crazy. Maybe you do too, but I never stop to wonder why I'm not like other people. The mystery to me is why more people aren't like me.

In addition to her activism and legal work, Kennedy also acted in the films “The Landlord” (1970), adapted from Kristin Hunter's 1966 novel, and the independent political drama “Born In Flames” (1983), directed by Lizzie Borden. She also acted in “Who Says I Can't Ride a Rainbow” alongside Morgan Freeman.
