TERRIE NELSON, CRANFILL SUMNER & HARTZOG COLOR POP, RALEIGH

Lawyers and murals have a lot in common. They’re both diverse and creative. Each is unique. Each tells a story.

Lawyers Mutual has helped tell the story for North Carolina lawyers since 1977. It’s a story of people who care and a mission to help. A story of protection that counts.

IT’S A STORY THAT KEEPS GETTING BETTER.

Fauci (to the tune of “Aime” by Pure Prairie League) I can see why Trump’s afraid to let you speak He doesn’t like to be upstaged by one who’s smarter or shorter than he But this virus, it is real, and he’s undone He thought he’d wave a magic wand and poof it’s gone.

FAU-CI, what we need from you?

Stats, facts, just tell us the truth For a while, maybe longer, if you could You say that we need a testing strategy?

Masks and gloves, some PPE, but we don’t need hy-drox-y-chlor-o-quine Thank you Fauci, We should stand 6 feet apart, or stay home We need to stop the spread and flat-ten the curve (need to stop the spread you say?)

FAU-CI, what we need from you?

Stats, facts, just tell us the truth For a while, maybe longer, if you could Well now, FAU-CI, what we need from you?

Stats, facts, just tell us the truth For a while, maybe longer, if you could Brook-lyn born, (pause) NYC to NIH Led the world in public health, expert for 50-years And here you are Standing next to Trump you try not to gasp When he says Lysol or light sets the virus free Ly-sol and light (fast) set the vir-us free?

FAU-CI, what we need from you?

A Brief History of the Golden Limine

T

he most prestigious commendation in the history of local bar associations, the much coveted Golden Limine is named for Lord Ethelbert Athelstan Rumple Budweiser Vortigern Luxury Gofraid Fruitbat Hypotenuse Limine (1543-1839), the much celebrated English Barrister. As recounted by Blackstone in his seminal work Commentaries on the Law of England, Limine’s litigation practices were renowned throughout the British Isles. His signature maneuver was first revealed in a case in which he was defending a man charged with second degree (unpremeditated) shearing of a neighbor’s sheep. Limine arranged to have a horse placed in the audience for the closing arguments, and when the jury returned a verdict of guilty, Limine’s client jumped on the horse and rode out of the courtroom, and indeed the county, before the judge could impose a sentence.
