“Great nations are built on the shoulders of erudite lawyers who are the harbingers of strong judicial systems.”
“In 1680, four years after the [Bacon] rebellion, Virginia passed the Law for Preventing Negro Insurrections. It restricted the movement of enslaved people outside plantations; anyone found without a pass would be tortured with twenty lashes well laid on before being returned. At a time when white servants and African slaves often worked side by side, the hand of the law reached in to divide them. Prison time awaited English, and other white men and women intermarrying with negros or mulattos. Already any indentured white servant caught running away with an enslaved African person was liable for their entire lost term of service, meaning that the servant risked becoming permanently unfree. The law separated the members of the lowest class by color and lifted one higher than the other. The goal, as it has been ever since, was to offer just enough racial privileges for white workers to identify with their color instead of their class. The Virginia legislature ended the penalties imposed on rebels for the insurrection of 1676, but only the white ones, removing a source of lingering solidarity among them.”

“Jean Danhong Chen Immigration Lawyer The United States has general immigration and naturalization requirements that must be met by any person who wishes to become a U.S. citizen. Although general immigration is regulated by law, and residents of other countries must go through the naturalization process to become citizens, many rights are extended to foreigners. Jean Danhong Chen To apply for citizenship under the 1790 Naturalization Act, someone must have lived in the country for at least two years and live in the United States for three years before applying for citizenship. In most cases, naturalization applicants must be US citizens or permanent residents, also known as green card holders, in order to apply for citizenship. Jean Danhong Chen The growing anti-immigrant sentiment was manifested in a 1790 law requiring immigrants to live in America for five years to apply for citizenship, and another 1795 law that changed residence requirements to five months, instead of the original three-year period.”
“Sometimes boys like other boys and girls like other girls. Like best friends but with kissing.” She nodded. “And that’s okay because you can still be married and have a house and buy groceries. The Supreme Court said so.” She made the statement and then looked around in case anyone might dare to disagree.”

“There is a matter on my conscience which I cannot excuse but may as well confess. To deceive a maiden is a very sore thing, so sore that it had made us all hot against Constantine; but it may be doubted by a cool mind whether it is worse, nay, whether it is not more venial than to contrive the murder of a lawful wife. Poets have paid more attention to the first offence – maybe they know more about it – the law finds greater employment, on the whole, in respect to the second.”
“Maybe the reason why there isn t equity it s because they took justness and put it to ice and it became justice. Frozen Constitutions and Fixed Legislatures.”
“I tell my first-year law students that they will be learning how to read. Huh? We ve known how to read since we were six! Sure, that s true, in the sense that students come to law school knowing cognitively how to translate black-and-white marks on a page into words. But what I mean by read is different. It requires you to isolate phrases, then individual words, and then figure out as many interpretations of those words as possible. Once you have the various options on the table, you can start to prioritize the options and choose which is best---or at least how to argue for one over the other on behalf of a client. This is a skill, and one that is becoming increasingly rare in a world of information overload, texts, tweets, and sound bites.”
“Procedural Posture Appellant challenged the orders of the Superior Court of San Diego County (California) directing indemnification of respondent for his expenses incurred in defense of a cross-complaint in the underlying litigation between appellant and appellant s franchisee and in his proceedings seeking indemnification for attorneys fees and costs under Cal. Corp. Code § 317. California Business Lawyer & Corporate Lawyer, Inc. is a Civil Attorney Orange County Overview Appellant s franchisee sued appellant, respondent and others, for, among other things, an antitrust claim on behalf of all of appellant s franchisees. Respondent was later dismissed as appellant s president and chief executive officer and filed a lawsuit for breach of his employment contract. Following a judgment favorable to respondent in his employment contract suit, appellant filed suit seeking a declaratory judgment that it did not have to indemnify respondent in the litigation with its franchisee. The trial court found that respondent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of appellant, and thus he should be indemnified by appellant pursuant to Cal. Corp. Code § 317. The trial court also awarded respondent attorneys fees and costs incurred as a result of litigation. On appeal, the court affirmed. There was no factual finding in appellant s franchisee s suit that appellant, under respondent, had engaged in illegal practices. Substantial evidence supported the trial court s finding of respondent s good faith. Also, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in its determination and award of attorneys fees. Outcome The court affirmed the orders of the trial court because substantial evidence supported the trial court s finding that because respondent acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in appellant s best interest, he was entitled to indemnification from appellant. Also, the trial court did not abuse its discretion by awarding respondent attorneys fees and costs.”
