Welcome new Sky friends (and old). A little about me. I'm the first-gen son of a WV union chemical worker. Practiced litigation for about 17 years (consumer protection & employee side labor & emp.) Clerked for two state court of appeals judges. (State clerkships are awesome.)

Love Calvin and Hobbes. So many classics.
Happy 40th birthday to Bill Waterson’s ‘Calvin and Hobbes’. A work of consummate, stubborn, human, and more-than-human art.

If you get ESPNU turn on the WVU v Duke Women’s game. Mountaineers up 13 on 15th ranked Duke. WVU playing with only 5 players after 6 players were ejected at the end of the first half.

You don’t need “in order” to do something.
“In order to succeed on her claim, Amelia must prove the landlord harbored the dog.”
“To succeed on her claim, Amelia must prove the landlord harbored the dog.”
Same meaning, fewer words.

Dear Legal Writers: Dates dull your writing and annoy your reader: "On June 1, 2025 x happened." Include specific dates if the argument turns on the date that something happened or didn't happen. Otherwise, use words to show chronology: "the next day," "two weeks later," "then," "next" or "finally."
