“I wonder what the man on the street might say about this practice of allowing a prosecutor . . . to say that a jury verdict of ‘not guilty’ for practical purposes may not mean a thing.” United States v. Canania, 532 F.3d 764, 778 (8th Cir. 2008) (Bright, J., concurring).

Nothing says presumption of innocence like a copaganda monument on the courthouse lawn. Where’s the display about DNA exonerations?
The @DefenseDoodle is enjoying the eclipse.
The one time I had a client “Tanner-ed” on a manslaughter, it was by a judge who later unexpectedly resigned from the bench and went inactive with the bar while the COA reversed the sentence.

Several years ago, the Rep. Assembly asked the Michigan Supreme Court to adopt a vacation court rule. They were uninterested. Could we at least adopt a rule that I don’t have to pack a jacket and tie for my vacation Zoom hearings?
If you were looking for a list of things your criminal defense attorney would like you to not do: 1) fail to appear 2) get arrested in another jurisdiction after you FTA 3) do interviews while you’re a fugitive

The cool thing about lawyers is that we make up our own acronyms. And then sometimes we make up our own ways to pronounce our made up acronyms. And everyone just nods.
The bird app has a lot of handwringing going on about the realtor commission thing. It’ll be OK. Maybe it’ll bring more lawyers who actually understand the transaction docs into real estate deals. If you haven’t seen a realtor clobber up a transaction, you’re not a lawyer.

Are you even a criminal defense attorney if you haven’t had a client say “all they have is a video of the crime, DNA, and a confession”?

Making it easier to conform IDs to a person’s name makes sense. “Under the common law, an individual may adopt any name he or she wishes, without resort to any court or legal proceeding, provided it is not done for fraudulent purposes.” In re Warshefski, 331 Mich App 83 (2020).

I’ll say it loudly for the criminal defense lawyers in the back: If your client fails to appear, IT IS NOT YOUR JOB TO EXPLAIN ALL THE NOTICE HE RECEIVED AND OTHERWISE THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS.
About time. This guy has been having a moment and ruining the Josh name for the rest of us.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I think it is every news outlet: In Michigan, “concurrent sentencing is the norm,” and a “consecutive sentence may be imposed only if specifically authorized by statute.” People v. Brown, 220 Mich. App. 680, 682 (1996).

@joshuablanchard @alittleleader Some trials take years off our lives.
a New York consumer fraud attorney in a two-person law firm could never
My reaction when someone says a stranger’s brief has all the hallmarks of being ghostwritten by the attorneys who habitually write a certain way and I am not one of them
When you make a tuna sandwich for lunch and don’t give a piece to the cats
Because it’s a day in April 2024 that ends in a y, I’m back in another random airport on my way to yet another destination. This time, though, I’m traveling with one of my twins to help her pick out an apartment where she’ll be going to school next year, so it’s much more fun! 😊
@smmarotta Sean, how many lawyers wrote your brief that lost unanimously in Ford v. Montana Eighth Judicial District?
Because all good lawyers went to Ivy League schools and work at large firms. Impossible that quality arguments and good writing can come from anywhere else. You can’t even use small caps if you didn’t go to a T-14. They turn the option off in word.
There are arguments on both sides for ghost-written briefs in opposition, but, like, does anyone think the Justices are fooled into thinking that a New York consumer fraud attorney in a two-person law firm wrote this?
I’m terrible at staying patient when someone's taking forever to get to the point during the workday. Sitting there feeling the time being wasted needlessly is draining. Knowing how to relay the bottom line quickly is an underrated business skill.
An intern asked me if a statute was the kind where “and” means “and,” or if it was a case where “and” means “or.” Sadly, it’s a fair question.
Update. Court’s tech guy made a point to tell me he was watching the stream and heard every single question the cop said he didn’t hear. 🙃
Whenever cops are extra obnoxious to me on cross, I just assume they have seen my twitter. Had a cop pretend not to hear me so many times, the judge just started repeating my questions before I could.
@joshuablanchard The concern is about what type of Act the authority is formed under. For example, the Lakeview District Fire Dept is referred to as an “authority” in bylaws, but was created under the Michigan Police and Fire Protection Act 33 of 1951 and the Urban Cooperation Act of 1967. 1/2
And yes, in case you can't tell from my tweets, I am freaking out about all the plot twists in the prosecutor's race!
I wonder who’s the hottest girl who cares about campaign finance
here’s a fun local example of the exonerative tense: who do you think hit the pedestrian, and how many paragraphs do you think it took for that information to be disclosed?
I am proud of Fisher and all the young men and women who received their First Communion today at Our Lady of Mercy Catholic Church. Absolutely beautiful!!!
This weekend one of my kids couldn’t remember and asked me the name for “Jewish Lent” and I was speechless and rather than answer I immediately died .
I used to think of things like yachts and private planes as symbols of unimaginable wealth and now it's just kitchens with, like, a ton of cabinetry.
Re: all-you-can-strike voir dire: I am pretty sure the best and most fairest trial judges I know would stop granting motions to strike for cause if it would bust the panel. We don’t even have unlimited challenges for cause !
