The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers – Shakespeare

“Implied Trespass”?!? Damn lawyers!

They are also very adept at lying

Love it!! And I’d never even heard of implied trespass.

Isn’t that lawyer supposed to be chained? City violation, right there.

Oh, yeah? Have you ever heard of Public Domain? Well, explain it to me.

Well, at least the owner has trained him to do his business in his own yard.

You know, I looked up “implied trespass,” and I don’t see how it applies here.

Are you familiar with the term “blow it out your a$$?”

“I’ll be out working in the yard today…”

Have you ever heard of “if it’s in plain sight we don’t need a warrant”?

Did his desk shrink?

Many people are working from home because of covid but most are doing it inside. I read a “news” article about the subject and Walmart said they were going to let more of their employees work from home. I’m waiting for a “Welcome!” texted to my phone from a greeter.

Of course he’s talking to Brad. Brad’s a schmuck.

Monty’s lucky he’s in NJ where they don’t have “stand your ground” law.

Watch out, Monty, he’ll put the bite on you!

I get the joke, which seems to arise from the term “law dog” for “lawyer.” Not bad.

Coveting thy neighbor’s yard.

What are the scissors for?

Funny!

I’m a lawyer, and I’ve never heard of implied trespass. Implied CONSENT to trespass, yes, but Monty never entered on the lawyer’s property, so there was no trespass. On the other hand, a lawyer having an open conversation with a client which can be overheard by passers by has likely waived privilege to the information being discussed, and could be sued for professional negligence by his client.

No I’m not, now that you’ve asked why don’t you go on a long winded explanation of what that is while I stand riiiight here. You have my undivided attention now that you’ve invited me to stay and listen to you.

There’s no such thing, Monty’s not trespassing, and any actions clearly visible (or audible) from a public right of way have no expectation of privacy. (That’s lawyerese for “bite me”.)

I’m glad Monty’s ankle is better. :)

I think that I might have answered, “Performance Art?” to the initial question to either A. remind him that the choice to be public was his, or B. thank him for the entertainment.

Even sharks have a better rep

I had to ask my neighbor to tone down the “important business meetings” he was having over the Internet, outdoors, right outside my window. He spent over a year remodeling his big house. I didn’t complain about that but he can take the meetings indoors.

Actually, I am not. Nor do I think you are. Explain the legal concept of an actual trespass versus an implied trespass if you please. Is that concept applied to both chattels and realty, or just one of them?…..

Must be all Sedgewick’s lawyer can afford for an office.

“Beware of lawyer” indeed!

Hey, Monty, just humor the neighborhood ninny. If he’s a “for real” lawyer, so am I (I’m not)….
