Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away. America has lost one of its finest lawyers. An outstanding lawyer is a gift to a nation. But RBG is one America never actually used. The same is equally true of her friend Antonin Scalia.
Two brilliant lawyers that most nations would give their right arm for. I think it is fair to highlight how little law either actually did. Both were sadly reduced by the constitution they lived under, to being mere politicians.
They both contrast sharply with how we have tried to practice law here. A month ago, I had lunch in a pub with a friend and three children. At the end the bill came. It was incorrect.
Not uncommonly for someone who fights over bills for a living, I let my non-lawyer friend take up the issue. He was told that the ‘eat out to help out’ deal could not be applied, because we had ordered in person and not via an app that neither of us had heard of.
