Not So Stealthy: Kirkland has shed some associates. Is this an isolated incident or is the market about to see wider cuts?

U Mad Bro: Jonathan Turley never got a Twitter blue checkmark but he’s not angry. He also wants a paid subscription so he can research which political enemies within Twitter slighted him. So… he’s having a day.

It Is Better 100 Innocent Persons Should Suffer: Justice Alito doesn’t see why “not actually breaking the law” should matter. Whatever Ouija board he’s using to talk to James Madison might be broken, you guys.

Don’t Have A Cow, Man: Devin Nunes threw a fit over allegations that his family hires undocumented workers. He probably should have kept his cool before, you know, opening himself up to discovery.

Many law firms have multiple locations. How should multi-location law firms handle websites and marketing? Marketing strategies for multi-location law firms are varied and may require more planning and management than marketing for one location. A multiple-location firm may choose to host multiple websites or just one website incorporating multiple links. A multi-location law firm may focus on improving its Google Business Profile or increasing traffic to its specific locations using legal blogs and informative content. There are best practices in marketing strategies that should be followed depending on your law firm’s practice, expertise, and goals.

Creating Websites For Multi-Location Law Firms
Should my multi-location law firm have one or more websites? More than one website may seem like a good decision if you have multiple office locations, especially if each location focuses on a different type of practice. Consider the following scenarios:

I’ve never been a fan of the phrase “Women lie, men lie, money doesn’t.” I generally don’t care about pots calling the kettle black or roses being just as sweet by another name, but that particular phrase about money not lying makes me start seething à la Ghiaccio. It is plainly just not true! Money lies all the time! Not even in the sense of say one American dollar has a higher exchange rate than the Kwacha — American dollars aren’t even equivalent to each other: just take this set of two single dollar bills that sold for $100!

Now you might think that this pedantry over semiotics has no real bearing on the law, but you’re wrong! If people would have lead with the question of How Much A Dollar Costs, then maybe Sabre wouldn’t have to fight against paying out approximately $150M over an antitrust case that resulted

Most law firms have a billable-hour requirement under which attorneys need to bill a certain number of hours over a specific period, usually 12 months. Law firms have various periods over which they determine if attorneys satisfied the billable-hour requirement, and many shops judge attorneys from a period starting and ending before the holiday season. I have also heard of some firms assessing billable-hour expectations on a fiscal-year basis, and this 12-month period starts and ends in the summer. For a variety of reasons, it usually makes sense to evaluate attorneys based on the calendar year rather than any other period.

I am fortunate to have only worked at a law firm that assessed the billable hours of attorneys based on the calendar year. When I was starting at a firm, I welcomed this. My first day of work was in or around the middle of October, and it was

Everywhere you turned this year, Jonathan Turley was there.

The George Washington University law professor continued his all-consuming passion to stay relevant with countless cable news hits, a flurry of vacuous articles in The Hill, and an unfiltered string of Tweets and personal blog posts. Wherever a far-right talking point needed the imprimatur of a fading scholar, Turley jumped at the opportunity to spout all manner of nonsense to get another taste of that sweet, sweet attention.

He’s the legal equivalent of a down-and-out doctor writing oxy scrips in exchange for the hard stuff that he really craves. Here’s some quasi-intellectual analysis of how John Durham is going to take down Hillary Clinton in exchange for 5-minutes on Hannity.

AHHHHHHH! Take a deep breath and ride that high, buddy.

In any event, as we close out 20-Turley-2, let’s look back on the professor’s greatest hits. Mostly because I’d even forgotten
