Ya'll, being in Florida, in volunteer leadership w/local Democratic Party, when 11% of the community's Black, but rarely "seen", Pride org has private security in its operating budget & red-shirted Concerned Citizens Defending Freedom are everywhere is tough, crazy #GoodTrouble

And, if at this moment in time, the ABA dismantles its Center for Innovation, whether officially or effectively through budget cuts? There is not a desert in the land big enough to hold the hubris-swollen collective head of this organization. It needs the Center.

Because the Center is the future of its relevance. And, this is exactly why the organization will continue to deny reality by replacing leaders committed to serving people with leaders who are committed to serving lawyers. Sad.

By placing people like Younger (who has spread misinformation on reg reform) on the Ctr for Innovation council, ABA leadership has taken a clear stance against the free flow of dialogue on issues of importance to the profession. Independence of thought & #A2J are under attack here.

It's Friday, I'll go harder. When the UT sandbox launched, "non-lawyer" co-ownership ⬇️50% was classified Low Risk and ⬆️50% was Low/Moderate Risk. Today, ABS structures are classified Low Risk. Why has that changed? *Data has entered the chat* *Feelings have left the chat*

Using Pew Research Center data offline population shrinks 7%. In 2000, almost 50% didn't use internet. 25% of respondents aged 65+ didn't compared w/ 4% age 50-64. visualcapitalist.com/internet-adopt…

We haven't even had a real, informed debate yet. We have one side being asked to prove the negative and collecting the small amount of data we can while the other is sharing their feelings about an economic (not ethics) restriction rooted in assumption. news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-p…

AND the solutions we've crafted over the past 100+ years to meet people's legal needs are woefully imperfect and inadequate. Disturbingly so. That we as a profession refuse to make any changes absent proof that such changes result in perfect outcomes is absolutely rage-inducing.

Happening Now: Oregon Supreme Court considers a supervised pathway to law licensure. Whatever the decision today, THIS is an example of a court truly engaged in self-regulation, w/out delegatory outsourcing. It's OUR profession. WE should dictate the requirements for entry.
