I kid, I kid 😂
I used to dress flamboyant af when I first started practicing law, for a solid 5-6 years (my OG associate-but-really-my-boss @MarissaMeredith would have the stats)
Around 2018 though I got tired of spending energy piecing together coordinating colors 👴🏼

From then on it was white shirt, flamboyant tie, coordinating pocket silk if I felt like digging for one

You are the only reason this month's AMA thread started on time, I thank you 😄
This presents an ethical quandary: does it count as "letting the Threadnought die" if you actively kill it? 🤔
Oh they've never stopped, I just mute every new subthread I'm added on until someone gets adventurous and @'s me in a new one
The Threadnought is eternal!
Trollolololol

NCGOP ties to NC Sons of Confederate Veterans & white supremacy agenda go deep.
Deeper than just confed flags & white power shouts at #NCGOP rallies.
Deeper than a couple dozen campaign donations.
Really deep.

Weird name for this case considering UNC and the white supremacists are on the same side. Nonetheless, I'm here to live tweet the latest hearing in the #SilentSham scandal.
Recall that the judge in this case, Allen Baddour, is personally involved in some shady shit. Baddour was in frequent contact with UNC BOG lawyers *before* the case was filed. wbtv.com/2020/01/29/jud…
SCV lawyer mentions "ill-advised" email from Kevin Stone of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. Claims this was "bragging and puffing" and shouldn't be taken seriously. "He did not state the issues very clearly." Those issues being SCV using UNC's payout to build a racist clubhouse
Back at the Orange County Courthouse for #SilentSham, round 2. I'll be live-tweeting here.
We're at the lawyers-milling-around-and-yuckin'-it-up stage of the proceedings.
A neither-here-nor-there observation of this courtroom and this case: women are solidly represented in the student ranks of law schools and have been for a long time. But not this courtroom.
