In this TBJ Select-exclusive article, authors Justin Gilbert and Sophie Bruce walk readers through the case of a student, W.A., who received individualized education programs (IEPs) for his severe dyslexia throughout his school career. Tragically, those IEPs focused on fluency and comprehension without first teaching W.A. the more basic, foundational skill of how to read. By his senior year in high school, W.A. still could not consistently spell his own name.

At the TBA Convention in June, YLD Board members were asked to submit tips on incorporating wellness into their lives as attorneys. We will be sharing these tips and other wellness ideas over the next year. You may have just had a new fiscal year start or maybe you are working towards the end of the calendar year to reach your billing goals. Either way, things can be stressful! Try to take time for yourself by doing the following:

• Find someone to talk to (without violating lawyer-client confidentiality of course!). Several young attorneys noted that they go to therapy, talk to friends or co-workers to reduce stress. Lawyering can be stressful, but you are not alone!
• Other young attorneys recommended checking out the Calm app from your smartphone app store. Calm is a mindfulness and meditation app designed to help users reduce stress, improve focus and enhance overall well-being.
• Be kinder to yourself by regulating your self-talk. If you are putting yourself down remember to ask the question, "Would I say this to my friend?" Give yourself the grace you would give to others.
• Stand up! Monique Tello, M.D., a clinical instructor at Harvard Medical School in Boston stated in "Prevention," an online wellness publication, "that when we sit for prolonged periods, toxins also sit, which promotes damage to our blood vessels, increasing our risk for heart disease and related diseases." To counteract this, stand up once an hour.

The TBA and Memphis Bar Association (MBA) YLD groups will hold a YLD Judiciary Mixer on Sept. 19 from 5:30-7:30 p.m. CDT. Enjoy drinks and heavy hors d'oeuvres generously provided by NST Law at the law firm's office, 488 S. Mendenhall Rd., Memphis 38117. RSVP online by Sept. 16.

Attorneys are needed to staff two upcoming legal clinics in Knoxville. The Veteran's Legal Advice Clinic is scheduled for Aug. 14 from noon-1 p.m. EDT. This is a general advice and referral clinic which serves between 20 and 30 veterans in the community. A Debt Relief Legal Advice Clinic will be held Aug. 17 from 9 a.m.-noon EDT. If a client qualifies for and desires to file a bankruptcy petition, during the clinic the volunteer attorney and client will schedule a follow-up appointment to move forward with a case. Both clinics will take place at the Knox County Public Defender's Community Law Office, 1101 Liberty Street.

In case you missed it, recordings from the recent TBA Business Law Forum are available on-demand as individual videos or in a convenient 1-Click CLE package.

COLE, Circuit Judge. Applicant Marta Lidia Tista-Ruiz De Ajualip is a native citizen of Guatemala who applied for asylum and withholding of removal for herself and on behalf of her three children and grandson, all of whom entered the United States on March 5, 2016.2 Marta’s family left Guatemala because they were afraid that Marta’s son-in-law, Marvin, would act on his threats to kill them. Because the Board’s denial of asylum and withholding of removal is inconsistent with this court’s precedent and other immigration authority, we grant Marta’s petition for review and remand for further proceedings.

JOHN K. BUSH, Circuit Judge. In 2020, during protests led in part by the organization known as Black Lives Matter (BLM), plaintiff Eric Noble made the mistake of sharing an insensitive meme on his personal Facebook page. Only his Facebook friends, who numbered less than 100, could see his posting. He took down the meme less than 24 hours after it went up and after his mother had advised that he do so. But it was too late. Some of Noble’s Facebook friends who worked with him at the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library (“the Library”) saw the post. They complained to the Library. After an investigation, Noble’s bosses did not think his quick removal of the meme was good enough that he should be forgiven. Instead, the Library terminated his employment as a security guard.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the previous decision and judgment of this court are vacated, the mandate is stayed, and this case is restored to the docket as a pending appeal.
