If you strikethrough a 4 you can't tell.

4
Yes, I see two horizontal lines going through the 4 instead of one.
I saw the same thing you did, but when you quoted it, I saw what dodint apparently sees.

Strange.

TIL Reagan is a first name for girls... I saw it today on FB of an uber right winger from back home, and thought "whoa, did she seriously just name her little girl Reagan?" and then I googled it and apparently it's somewhat popular.

That is a pretty stupid tweet. Not worth racking Martin over the coals about. But twitter.

[T]his is not a suggestion that a lawyer ever tell a judge or jury that he personally believes in the justice of his client's cause. That is specifically forbidden by the Code of Professional Responsibility, DR 7-106 (C). The ethical prohibition forbids saying you believe in your client.
Well.

There goes ever legal drama I've ever watched.

It's not a lawyer's job to believe in the client.

That's the exact opposite message of the material I'm reading.

But the material is about being effective, so you're technically not wrong. It's speaking specifically about oral arguments, of which I assume I will be terrible, so I actually believing what I'm saying might be the edge I need when I have to do so in two weeks.

I'm a much better writer than I am an orator. Not looking forward to this.

Check out the latest Project Veritas hub bub. It might be personally repugnant, but a lawyer's job is to represent the client.
