You think so? I always thought it was ugly.

That and the importance of regular bathing.

Except less interesting.

He is so annoying. I can't stand the character and I like Biggs even less.

Do you think it was possible that her breasts may have been numb/too sore from the surgery? IDK, just grasping at straws to explain the stupid.

Ay carumba! Florida strikes again.

Thanks for the smile.

I did state that I was Canadian.

OK, this is a case of cross border semantics and my bad for not being clearer and perhaps for supposing the two bodies shared the same name in both countries. We are in fact talking about the same governing body.

This reminds me of an old joke: What do you call the biggest, most clueless idiot who graduates from law school? Answer? A lawyer.

Based on neurology, their brains aren't fully developed. Some may seem older than their years, but physiologically their brains are still maturing.

No, that's a good point. He was being sentenced for a probation violation, not for the substantive underlying offence. It still sucks but thanks for pointing that out.

Meh, he may *never* get it. There was a case up here yonks ago where a judge called a 3 year old rape victim "seductive" and pointed to that factor as mitigating. Talk about a shitstorm.

I'm just talking off the top of my head but I'm wondering if the perp may possible have the defence of officially induced error. I haven't researched the point and it seems a bit thin but it's imaginative. The appeal on sentence is obviously a slam dunk.

Whoops, you're absolutely correct. You become a legal pariah and nobody will hire you. Not sure how the insurance thing works down there. I pay a flat (scary) fee for my insurance and I've never been censured or sued or any of that so I don't know if the premiums go up here.

Censure by a bar association can run the gamut from "don't do it again" to having a suspension imposed or having your practice monitored and/or restricted. You can be ordered to take remedial courses in everything from practice management to gender issues. The added benefit is that if this guy doesn't surrender his…

Likely not. This is an American case and criteria varies from state to state. Generally however, in order to be disbarred, you have to do some really bad stuff like get convicted of something nasty, wilfully involve yourself in a fraud that is deleterious to the administration of justice or deliberately disregard…

I'm sure the prosecutor is going to get it too. That's really basic: knowing your criminal statutes, including the sentencing provisions. That being said, the defence lawyer had a duty to court (at least we do in Canada) to point these things out. As an officer of the court, you have a duty to the court. While…

That's wise. And keep him in the kitchen (when he's not cleaning the bathroom). Hey, don't you feel like a sandwich about now?

I hope you manage to keep him covered up. I just assume that you've taught him his place by now, amirite? You can't let these men out of your sight — they're whores, all of 'em and it's a good thing they have us to keep them on the straight and narrow.
