  1. Enjoyed reading the tweets compiled by @AMorrisReports (Angela Morris) re whether lawyers would go to law school again. law.com/jsp/tx/PubArti…
  2. Great article by @worklawyer (Mike Maslanka) about how lessons learned on his last date are applicable to law practice. law.com/jsp/tx/PubArti…
  3. .@AMorrisReports Thanks for including me in your #FF list, Angela. Have a great weekend!
  4. Based on what I've heard Texas appellate justices say at CLEs, I agree with @lawyerist. Short brief=happy judge. lawyerist.com/choosing-your-…
  5. Great DMN story by @dallascourts regarding what Dallas County is doing to address 80% no-show rate for summoned jurors. dallasnews.com/news/local-new…
  6. enjoyed being a speaker at the Dallas Hispanic Bar Association continuing legal education seminar earlier today.
  7. .@AMorrisReports That depends on whether 90% of the curriculum still focused on near-worthless "how to think like a lawyer." #LawSchoolAgain
  8. It's really depressing that some lawyers behave so badly. It tarnishes the reputation of the entire legal profession. abovethelaw.com/2012/05/bleep-…
  9. Today, I was in trial court working on post-trial issues. Tomorrow, I'll be in court of appeals for oral argument. 2 of my favorite things!
  10. .@dodrummond Does OG mean original gangster? I've never been called that before, but kinda like being thought of as "OG appellate attorney."
  11. Thanks, Dylan! RT @dodrummond: Texas Appellate Tweeps #FF @dtoddsmith @doncruse @AppellateRecord @appealsattorney @appellatelaw
  12. .@bradleybclark Thanks for the RT!
  13. A client gave me a basil plant to thank me for work I did on her appeal. I never had anything like that happen when I worked at a big firm.
