Maybe this says something about the public defender organization for which I work: It scheduled its annual “meeting” (at which attendance for all attorneys is “mandatory”) for the same dates as this year’s NLG Law for the People Convention in Seattle.
You think?
Umm, yeah, they don’t care much about “the people.” Sorry you work for such a tough organization.
Yeah, I know, many people think the NLG is a bunch of wackos and it’s true that some members are pretty far outside the mainstream. But then there’s this:
“Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it’s from Neptune.” — Noam Chomsky
I’d just prefer to be part of an organization that had at least enough of that kind of crazy to consider making it possible for its people to attend both conferences if they wanted. It’s good to want things.
