Suspended Coffee

This has nothing to do with being a lawyer and everything to do with being a human being. I saw this on www.tumblr.com and realized that this is a concept worthy of going viral. If you go into a Starbucks or Peets or Coffee Bean or any coffee house, order a coffee for yourself and order a “suspended coffee.” You’ll pay for two coffees but will walk out with one. A homeless person, on a cold winter day, will walk in and ask the barista if they have a suspended coffee and, lo and behold, the homeless person will walk out with a hot… Read More

Angry Judge William Watkins Suspended for Four Years Without Pay

Folks, I don’t usually reprint other articles on my blog.  However, this one along with the inciting video is worth the read and watch!

Heller made a great deal for Lindsay on charges that she… Read More

Baby you were born this way!  In California, we can protect the ones we love by setting up a Domestic Partnership (marriage is a-coming soon).  The benefits and responsbilities of a domestic partnership are manyfold and are the subject of another post. How fabulous would this have been if a domestic partnership could have been realized back in the late 1800s and early 1900s?  Check out this video proving that loving relationships date back to way back when (to the tune of “Born This Way” by Lady Gaga) For purposes of this post, though, here are the requirements for setting… Read More
