There are not a lot of people who can just wander into a diner or a donut shop and instantly connect with the people there. Retail politics is hard!
If I were going to offer some advice, try asking questions that have more open-ended answers. Not "how long have you worked here" but "what's the best donut here?"
Whenever I go to a small town courtroom, I inevitably start a conversation with someone about the best place to get lunch. Everyone has an opinion and it's a good chance to build a rapport.

Also, I want to eat a good lunch.

Cities can be sued for the civil rights violations of their police officers when those violations are the result of a policy. Either official (mass arrest orders) or unofficial (looking the other way when bad stuff happens).

In the 5th Circuit, several George Floyd protesters sued because they were beaten and shot with pepperball rounds. /2
Image

They argue that this misconduct was part of an unofficial policy, because the officers who hurt them had lengthy histories of misconduct.

The 5th Circuit is very dismissive, saying that other instances of beating unarmed people were too vague, or not similar enough.

A doctor and a lawyer are chatting at a party. But every few minutes, someone comes up and pesters the doctor about some ailment and asks for advice. After a couple of hours, the doctor, exasperated, asks the lawyer how it is that no one bothers asking HIM for advice?
The lawyer takes a sip of his whiskey and a drag on his cigar before responding that that used to be a problem for him, but now he just bills people who ask him for advice at his hourly rate. Once that happened a couple of times, nobody bothered him again.
The doctor thanks the lawyer and heads home. The next morning, he decides to take his advice. He writes up a few bills, seals them in envelopes, and puts on the postage. He's apprehensive, but a little excited.

When he gets to the mailbox there's a bill from the lawyer.

Ok so let's talk about mistrials and double jeopardy, since everyone is talking about it in the context of the YSL trial.

If a mistrial occurs, and the defense just DOES NOT OBJECT, the defendant can be retried. If it's defense requested, same deal.

/1 Image
The only time that the defense can request a mistrial AND bar retrial is when they can get a judge to find that the State deliberately provoked the mistrial.

This is hard as hell because no prosecutor is going to admit that and the judge has to work with them every day.

/2 Image
You basically have to make a record about how bad the case was going for the State and how they were definitely going to lose with this jury and now they get a chance to fix it.

And whatever the trial judge says, goes. Almost impossible to reverse.

So let's talk for a minute about recusal motions in Georgia, how they work, and what the remedies are.

A valid recusal motion in Georgia must be:

1. Swift
2. Sworn
3. Sufficient

/1 Image
The motion must be swift:

You have to file it within 5 days of learning whatever reason you have for wanting the judge recused.

/2
The motion must be sworn:

With the motion, you have to file an affidavit describing the facts you have learned that make you worry that the judge has a bias.

It appears that Georgia Rule of Professional Responsibility 3.4 (f) actually has a pretty major typo that changes its meaning.

They changed an "and" to an "or" that eviscerates the rule.

Left: Georgia Right: ABA

Under Georgia's rule, you can almost always request secrecy.

It makes total sense to say that you can tell employees not to tell people about things, so long as it's not adverse to their interests.

It makes no sense at all to say you can tell anyone to remain silent, so long as it's not adverse to their interests.
I don't think this was on purpose, because the rest of the rule is word-for-word identical. I think this is just a straight mistake.
