A quick definition of unified bar:

A unified bar is a group of lawyers who are all qualified to practice law in a certain area. It's like a big club for lawyers! In some places, lawyers have to be part of the unified bar to be able to practice law. There are also other types of bars, like specialty bars for lawyers with specific interests or voluntary bars that lawyers can choose to join or not. The term "bar" can also refer to a railing in a courtroom or a legal barrier that prevents a lawsuit or claim from moving forward.

A more thorough explanation:

A unified bar is a type of bar association in which membership is mandatory for lawyers to practice law in a particular jurisdiction. It is also known as an integrated bar. The unified bar is usually a statewide organization of lawyers that regulates the legal profession and provides services to its members.

For example, in California, the State Bar of California is a unified bar that regulates the practice of law in the state. All lawyers who want to practice law in California must be members of the State Bar of California.

Another type of bar association is a voluntary bar, which lawyers can choose to join or not. A specialty bar is a voluntary bar association for lawyers with special interests, specific backgrounds, or common practices.

The unified bar is important because it ensures that lawyers meet certain standards of professionalism and ethics. It also provides services to its members, such as continuing legal education and networking opportunities.

Overall, the unified bar is a crucial part of the legal profession that helps to regulate and support lawyers in their practice of law.

@texaslawhopefully: Yeah, I mean it could happen to the senate and house like it did to Obama but if he keeps his overall approval rating up, even if someone does not like individual policies it's compromise: https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trumps-approval-ratings-break-records-democrats-back-him-2018900

@Dkk: Fair. My guess is (if the DNC is smart) dems change there messaging to be more appealing to moderates, they start winning and they hopefully that encourages republicans to move back to the center.

Dkk

18:47

Yeah, exactly.

@llama: This was the best explanation that I read for it: https://samharris.substack.com/p/the-reckoning

@GapingVariousTurkey: same bro. im not worried cause yolo, but i think an honest talk with each applicable school will allow them to give leeway

texaslawhopefully

18:48

But, yeah, I think many people were shocked

@texaslawhopefully: when I have some time i will read, thanks fren. Regardless of whichever of the two [T or H] are in the WH, I truly believe expectations will be looked back on as over worried.

@llama: I don't know man, maybe I've been reading way too much news but I'm worried in a way I wasn't with Biden, or would've been with Harris

llama

18:53

@texaslawhopefully: looking back, the Rs were freaking out saying Biden was going to end the country, and the Ds were freaking out during DJTs 1st term. Neither did exceptionally bad or good, IMHO. At the end of the day, the rest of the GOV (Judaical and Congress) really put a damper on grandiose executive plans. Finally, we all know Donnie is a talker: he anchors (ie tarrifs), he talks shit, he says he will do X and never does. news eats that shit up, but I think most will not ever come to pass

I really think it's a lot of political theater right now. I think a huge percentage of these EO's are just going to be shot down.

the news sells fear. that is their product (hence why u see COPD, heart meds, stress/ antidepressants adverts during primtime). We know trump has a big mouth, and when he opens it, he spews nonsense which gets funneled into ur ears- ratings skyrocket.

llama

18:56

not COPD. my bad ^

dem messaging is lightyears behind MAGA messaging, part of this can be blamed on foreign governments boosting the MAGA party to destabilize the country, but the democrat old guard is so far behind MAGA strategy

@Dkk: exactly.

dems need to give way to modern leftists like AOC and bernie

llama

18:58

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: AOC is my crushhhh

Dkk

18:59

It's amazing cus in 2008/2012 people were even wondering if the Republican party was still going to be a thing and then yeah, MAGA just took over.

but unfortunately the left purity tests all of its members to death, for the left their candidates have to be perfect, for the right their candidates are basically forgiven for anything. it makes it a hard sell for upcoming talent to attach to the left wing when they will cancel their politicians for any perceivable social slight

texaslawhopefully

18:59

Yeah, unfortunately that happened in part with Harris and the far-Left

llama

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: see with takes like that, it is no wonder how you are called Knowledgeable Wasp

ie a lot of the left didnt vote for harris because they thought biden was too soft on israel for the I/P situation. but now they have trump who will literally hand netanyahu bombs to genocide palestinians

texaslawhopefully

And even on that issue, though, I thought Biden was very moderate, whereas the far-Left just had unrealistic expectations of where he was going to end up
