Hello! Employment lawyer here. Yesterday, the FTC voted 3-2 to approve its noncompete final rule. Let's talk a little bit about it. 🧵 First: it's been <24 hours since the FTC approved the rule. It takes effect 120 days after publication. But there are already multiple lawsuits filed attempting to block the rule (US Chamber of Commerce; Ryan LLC). This rule--or this version of it--may never take effect.

Anecdotal evidence collected over the last 2 hours suggests that cleaning this toaster oven tray is impossible Image The Internet suggests that some sort of baking soda & water paste would work on this & I laughed out loud at the suggestion

This pan will require, at the very least, chemicals that will burn the skin

Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs is the Disney movie version of every 1L class combined.

A #lawtwitter 🪡 🧵: The movie opens with disparagement. But is it defamation?

Queen: Am I the fairest in the land?

Mirror: Nope. Snow White is fairer.

Cinderella is a movie about contract interpretation, negotiation, & breach.

A #lawtwitter 🪡 🧵: A Royal invite comes to attend a ball. The invite commands “all eligible maidens” to attend. Cinderella asks to go. Stepmother and sisters reject this ask. Cinderella pushes back on this material issue, noting that she fits the defined term & attendance is mandatory.

Calling all #lawtwitter partners!

My colleague & I have been asked to present “What Partners Want Associates to Know” — tips for success in the firm & your personal practice.

We have ideas! But we are only two partners. We’d love to hear your words of wisdom, too! Thoughts? And calling all #lawtwitter associates!

When we did this presentation in 2021, we asked our associate attendees what questions they have, because one of the things we want associates to know… is what they want to know!

What info would you want covered in this presentation?

Hi! My name is Michelle Strowhiro & my last name is half Japanese & completely made up.

A few of you asked about this, so here it is! This is the 🧵 on how my husband @jamiestrowhiro and I merged our last names. First, to be super clear: the decision on whether to take your spouse's last name, keep your last name, merge the names, hyphenate the names, make up a brand new name, you name it, it's entirely your decision. Whatever you choose, I support you! & I'd love to hear your stories.
