The Perfect Client
Posted on February 20, 2008Occasionally, I end up getting appointed as a guardian or attorney ad litem on CPS cases. Family law is not my idea of a good time, but I take the cases without complaint for a couple of reasons. First off, it’s some extra money. Always nice...
It Figures
Posted on February 17, 2008The week that blog traffic gets a boost is the week that I’m way too busy to provide any new content. On the 10th, Scott Greenfield at Simple Justice mentioned my humble little blawg in a post noting that Texas seems to have an abundance of blawggers...
There?s No Justice Like Mob Justice
Posted on February 09, 2008This isn’t exactly related to being a lawyer, but it is criminal justice related. According to the Houston Chronicle: DALLAS ? A man accused of raping a woman at knifepoint in a Dallas apartment was beaten by an angry group of people and shot at least twice, authorities said...
Just Say No
Posted on February 05, 2008Chemistry was never my strongest subject in school, and today I had to deal with the worst chemistry has to offer. Meth addicts. I have no idea if defense lawyers in places like Harris County have to deal with a lot of meth addicts, but here in rural Texas there’s a ton of [...
The Clothes Make the Man
Posted on February 01, 2008Yesterday, the ABA had a story about the generational gap and clothing. According to the original story in the Wall Street Journal, younger associates are coming into the office wearing business casual, or even worse, jeans. Oh, the humanity. One older lawyer was quoted as saying “I share the lament and disgust about [...
Personality Types
Posted on January 30, 2008In my fairly short time being a criminal defense attorney, I’ve noticed you can basically break clients down into four categories. Admits they’re is guilty, just wants a deal. Admits they did the crime, but it was justified, ie self defense...
What I Didn?t Learn In Law School, Pt 1
Posted on January 26, 2008I’m pre-emptively labeling this as part one, because things I’ve learned on the job, that I never learned in law school will be revisited again. Over at The Defense Perspective, Stephen Gustitis had a post about using a polygraph as a method of client control...
Crusade
Posted on January 21, 2008The courts are closed today with the observance of Dr. King’s birthday, and since I don’t have any timebombs going off this week, I decided to take the day off. And so the day wouldn’t be completely unproductive, I figured I’d clean out my email, namely sort through all the emails that the ABA [...
Ill Repute
Posted on January 20, 2008At one time in this country’s history, probably before I was born, the law was an extremely respectable field to go into. People viewed attorneys as the good guys, defending the rights of those who needed it. The poor, the oppressed, the underprivileged...
