Hi. I'm a lawyer, but I'm not your lawyer. Please do not take legal advice from strangers on the internet. They often wrong, but never in doubt.

Look and see if your local bar association has a referral system.

If you're reasonably near Philadelphia, I would strongly recommend the Philadelphia Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Information Service.

Same as OP, insurer told me rates are going up. That's it.

That's not always true. My rates went up 40% this year in Philly. I shopped around and every company was basically the same price or more for the same coverage.

I believe it. I used to get accidentally toasted there all the time. Those drinks are just so good and don't seem boozy 🥴

WHAT!?

Thanks for the heads up. It was my favorite bar along with fiume pre-covid.

The Upstairs Bar was such a loss, best tiki bar in the mid Atlantic 😥

>The ACLU complaint was filed on behalf of seven students whose names and personal stories are redacted from the 72-page document; attorneys have said the redactions are to protect the students. The district, which has called on the ACLU and U.S. Department of Education to release the names, said in December that the refusal to do so was “increasing the complexity of the Duane Morris investigation and forcing additional legal costs.”

Translation: tell us who the LGBT troublemakers are so we can harass them, and then we'll stop pissing taxpayer money into Bill McSwain's future campaign warchest.

This is truly one of the most cynical political statements I've ever read.

Not correct. The exclusive function of a notary is to verify the identity of a signatory. They do not evaluate or read the contents of the document whatsoever.

You could notarize signatures on a potato if you wanted to.

I know. I was living in Shanghai when it closed.

Unfortunately not. What are your favorite bbq places in Chinatown? It's been too long since I've gotten blasted on tsingtao and baijiu at a Chinese bbq.

No, it's mostly a product of Chinese American immigrants and didn't really make it's way back to China. Except for the very large and international cities, China doesn't really have a tradition of eating food from other cultures.

I found one Chinese American restaurant when I lived there, and it was in Shanghai which is probably the most international Chinese city. It was in a neighborhood that's very popular with American and European expats, so mainlanders were certainly not their target demographic.

Chengdu Famous in west. They have the best American Chinese food I've had in Philadelphia, and an extensive and delicious authentic Chinese menu.

It's really the best Chinese restaurant I've been to aside from when I lived in China.

Lol it's Philly. I drove it on the expired temp until the permanent one came. Wouldn't recommend this outside the city though!

I bought one from them in Philly during the first summer of the pandemic. The process was great, customer service was super helpful, and overall much better than a dealership. We also used our own bank for financing because the rates were way better, but nobody from carvana tried to push us into their financing.

Buuuuuuut all that being said, we also had our permanent license plate super delayed (Well last the date of the temp). Carvana blamed it it on the state which made sense, back in 2020 it felt like the world was falling apart. But in hindsight, we were one of the many many people who didn't have their titles processed by carvana in time.

I, nor my fellow LGBT community members, are 'creepy shit' to learn about.

On another note, if you think by 12th grade your teenager hasn't seen more sexual nudity than a human being would ever see in their entire lifetime 100 years ago, I've a got a bridge to sell you. Proper sex education is extremely important for dozens of reasons. If you don't want your kid learning about their body, opt out. Don't take away education from other parents who do want informed children capable of safely entering the adult world.

They're selling the collection, but holding out for a single buyer so it isn't broken up.

No problem! And bring a power pack if you can. Finding an outlet in the CJC and city hall courtrooms is pretty hard unless you're in the bar or well (where the parties sit). Most importantly, be nice to the court staff. They're important to the process, wildly underpaid (I know, I used to a clerk), and treated terribly by most of the public.

You have to wait in the jury pool the entire time. Bring something to entertain yourself, odds are you'll be there all day even if you're not selected—voir dire is not a fast process.

As for timing, the first day you will likely be done by 5. If you're selected, you'll be finished each day anywhere between 4:30 and 6:45 depending on the judge. In my experience, judges will clear it with the jury before going past 5.

That's disappointing but very on brand for west willy, where good is the enemy of perfect.
