As of May 1, 2012 I have moved onto bigger and better things to the next step in my ambitions for advocacy/helping the underserved. By the end of the year, I may have completed my Paralegal Certificate so I can build on my experience.

CA Trial Court System is going MORE public about the drastic cuts
http://tinyurl.com/79gbcla
"On May 17, the Judicial Council of California held an emergency session to meet with California Director of Finance Ana Matosantos about Gov. Jerry Brown’s new budget proposal, which called for a $544 million reduction to the judicial branch in fiscal year 2012-13 after four consecutive years of cuts totaling $653 million.
In order to cover the cuts, the courts must pull $300 million from trial court reserves, while $240 million would be realized from delays in court construction. Another $4 million will come from increased retirement contributions from state court employees.
Chief Justice Tani Cantil-Sakauye, who chairs of the Judicial Council, called the proposed cuts “startling, harsh, immediate and shocking.”"

Gold Star Day
Gold Star Day: Officially enrolled at UC for the online Paralegal Certificate Program; adopted two 11 week old kittens; my Mom got to see her Mother's Day flowers even though she was leaving the country today.
Finally admitted defeat with a 'simple' project and asking for help instead of keeping it to myself. Byay!

Watch this before you vote for the June 5th Election.
This is the first time I have ever seen a debate of judicial candidates for a County as small as ours. While electing Supervisors are representing their area, the judges will be judging us all.

Talk about a benchslap. You know you’ve turned down the wrong path when the man presiding over your case seems to be judging your character more than your knowledge of the law.
Mike Frisch of the Legal Profession Blog wonders if the ethics complaint against Cesar is “a bit overcharged,” and we agree that it might be. Because when other lovely lady lawyers in the state stand accused of prostitution and baring their breasts for the world to see, what’s one little “oh sh*t” in open court?
