Ain't Never Caught a Rabbit

By Anne Skove, Esq.

Even if you're an Elvis impersonator, you probably shouldn't attend your pretrial conference in rhinestones and sunglasses.

And even if you're the King, do not show up drunk. Just don't.

Assuming arguendo that you did anyway, don't tell the judge you only had a few drinks the night before. We all tried this line of argument with our parents during high school, and some of the dopier members of society try to tell this to law enforcement and medical personnel. Never works.
