Hey y'all, I just switched instances, so here's an #introduction.

I'm an #Alabama native living in Metro #Vancouver. I have a decade's experience in civil litigation in the US, currently jumping through hoops to get licensed to practice in #BC. I post about #legal & #LawFedi issues, learning Canadian law, #USpol, #biking, and all sorts of nerdy things.

My old handle (IntlLawGnome) was a silly inside joke with my wife from back when no one else was on Mastodon. I'm going for more boring now!
