Read a random definition: laws of Visby

A quick definition of specialty bar:

A specialty bar is a group of lawyers who have a special interest or practice in a specific area of law. It is a voluntary association that lawyers can choose to join. The bar can also refer to the railing in a courtroom that separates the front area where court business is conducted from the back area where observers sit. It can also refer to a barrier or legal objection that prevents a claim or action from proceeding.

A more thorough explanation:

A specialty bar is a voluntary bar association for lawyers with specific interests, backgrounds, or practices. It is a subset of the legal profession that focuses on a particular area of law or group of lawyers.

For example, there may be a specialty bar for environmental law, immigration law, or women lawyers. These associations provide a forum for lawyers to network, share knowledge, and advocate for their interests.

Specialty bars are different from integrated bars, which are mandatory bar associations that lawyers must join to practice law in a particular jurisdiction. Voluntary bars, on the other hand, are optional and do not require membership for lawyers to practice law.

Overall, specialty bars are a way for lawyers to connect with others who share their interests and to further their professional development in a specific area of law.

Tell us what's important to you
I learned today the term fight fire with fire comes from the early day of fire fighting when departments would just bulldoze buildings and then burn them in an attempt to stop a fire from spreading. So to stop fire from burning shit they would burn down other buildings in a more violent and destructive way thus lowering the fires moral so much it refuses to spread and work.

that's like basically how wildland firefighting still works
I did wildland and most of the time it was controlled burns but it is pretty funny to imagine doing that in a city/neighborhood.
Dkk

The Santa Ana winds kinda helped with that because it pushed the fire back to where it had already burned despite the news media saying everything was going to get worse like the idiots they are.
Cant imagine being the guy to be like "hey so to keep your neighbors house from burning down we are going to bulldoze yours and then catch it on fire"
