Knowing how I feel about lawyers advertising . . .

how does this strike you?

Once again, let's play find the cause of action:

P.S. - Notice line 19, page 2 - I guess the Addams family cousin wrote the screenplay.

Remember when I always say that WHERE you want to end up living matters:

not that I buy into the whole "superlawyers" idea at all, but notice how the local schools make the local "stars" (and how few real national law schools there are):

For those of you not keeping up with the latest gossip:

told you so:

It IS so hard being right all the time.

There's no way I could pass up this shot at Florida:

Talk about in "plain view"!

For you old timers who had Charlotte Rembar's case:

As I have been teaching for years:

David Gingras writes the best responses to demand letters:

As my computer was fouling up, I found this:

Fingers crossed for all the Cal Bar takers today

Today should be a national holiday . . .

Today is the 144th birthdate of the greatest trialawyer who ever lived: Earl Rogers. If you fashion yourself as a litigator (or a litigator to be) and you have not read and studied Final Verdict, you will never understand what trial law really is and the sacrifices it takes to be successful.

PS - And, like me, he taught at USC!

Okay, time to open your minds again:

Remember the discussion of my rights wearing my "marijuana suit"?

I often wonder what kind of world we really live in:

There are good lawyers, there are average lawyers, and then . . .

After hearing the Cal Supreme Court arguments in the Stephen Glass case,
