Resolution 6: Kill all the lawyers!
Ephraim Tutt said:Miss Bella!
We've been waiting for you! We're not an intentional boys club but have just been waiting for an application for admission from a lady lawyer. And you're almost there!
What area of law do you see yourself prasticing in?
and in the meantime.....let me buy you a drink. The Aussie Shiraz is good!
Doublegun said:Miss Bella Hell, you are certainly welcome to pull up a chair and join in. I followed your posts on another thread and I am a big fan of yours.

Miss_Bella_Hell said:Thanks! I do love a good Shiraz. Not sure what I'm going to do, probably commercial law, though I do really like the Appellate Court.
Well thanks! I assume that means you like tough chicks who don't take any crap! lol Or was I being demure at the time?
Dreispitz said:Hello legalist folks, please do not crucify my strait away, but I have a lot to do with you law folks, since I am an indpendent commercial mediator
Common denominator: hats and life style, maybe philosophy of law, since I majored in ethics
I kindly apply for accreditation into this thread.

Atticus Finch said:Oliver Wendell Holmes. Fought bravely in the American Civil War, albeit for the wrong side. Was thrice wounded...almost mortally at Antietam. Was a champion of the 1st Amendment (Schenck v. United States (1919), Abrams v. United States (1919)) and great advocate of free speach.
IMO, one of the most underrated and under-appreciated of the US Supreme Court Justices.

Ephraim Tutt said:Mr Dreispitz - welcome to the OBA. You're very welcome here. I'll put your application for associate membership to the founding members who I'm sure will be delighted to have our first member from the Continent.
Now, tell me, what German wines do you recommend - and who's your favourite German hutmacher?

Doublegun said:No, none of the above. I would say, stunning, voluptuous, mesmerizing…your finger curls, your eyes, your smile…in a word, sublime. (heavy sigh) And I think that thread has been pulled (really heavy sigh).
MsStabby said:Hello all,
May I join please? I am a paralegal, re-entering the practicing world after just being laid off from the soul-killing investment world (yeah!!!).
Before I went over to the very dark side, I worked in legal services, primarily elder and mental health issues, and various Administrative law issues. I loved it but was tempted by the intersection of making more money and student loans coming due. But it was useless work, so after a few weeks of loafing I am going to call my old supervising attorney and volunteer my time so that I can hone my old skills.
Oh, and I have no hat

Dreispitz said:Hello Mr. Tutt,
favourite German hutmacher is easy. Hückel pre 1945.
With wine it is a diferent story. I come from the Munich area, where beer production is prominent and no wine is grown in the area. Therefore we are lucky to get all the international wine next to German.
I, myself did a bit of wine trading and imoprted wine from Italy during my university time and dealt with Spanish and Italian wine.
Over the last decade I specialised in Slovenian wine. To my personal taste one can find the best balanced wines and many positive suprises in the small country.
Unfortunately, there is very limited export of the excellent winemakers of the country. Many of wich are small boutique winyards with an outturn of sometimes less than 1200 bottles per year, per individual type.
So, they mainly cater to local slow food places and connesseurs. I very much like the local tinge, diferent soils and a huge variety of local old grapes that one cannot find elsewhere.
So much about German wine, that I very rarely drink. lol For recomendations of German wine, I should contact a wine friend of mine in Slovenia
I did try some Australian wine, though. Very bodyful and distinct. Sometimes a bit too prominent vanilla, however. Shiraz, I like.
Atticus Finch said:Earl Warren. Lord, I can still remember how badly he was hated here in the South. He was actually a much better politician than he was a great legal thinker…but he figured out how to make The Court an instrument of change and he led (forced?) the United States through desegregation. He willingly dived right into the civil rights fray when few other white people in the judicial branch wanted to grapple with that thorny issue.
