I‘m reaching for this one, but Chapter #29 of the NC General Statutes deals with intestate succession (when someone dies without a will, who gets their stuff.) #novemberbythenumbers @JoeStalksBeck @Tiffy_Reads

#Criminals - #NoteworthyNovember #CriminalThatIAm by #JenniferRidha - This memoir “details an attorney‘s redemptive journey, beginning with her decision to commit a crime on behalf of her client, whom she loved, to the consequences that came after. Recounted with brutal introspection and self-deprecating humor, this strange and twisted love story contemplates what we make of crime and punishment...and what it makes of us.” #tbr #botm #memoirs

"What then remains to complete the tragedy but a murder or two and a few moral sentences."

.....Hoping I can sneak this sentence into a legal brief one day. It's important to have career goals. #lawyeroflitsy

"[H]e knew it was a rule in the construction of all laws that 'expressum facit cessare tacitum,' the sense of which is, 'When a lawgiver sets down plainly his whole meaning, we are prevented from making him mean what we please ourselves.' As some instances of women, therefore, are mentioned in the divine law which forbids us to covet our neighbour's goods, and that of a sister omitted, he concluded it to be lawful." #lawyeroflitsy

Saw this play tonight (sadly not in the library). I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I am not sure how much of that was the play and how much of that was just me, as a mixed race female attorney, naturally being a fangirl of Marshall's.

It was a one man show, though, so can't deny the power of the performance.
