Isn't it always a race issue?

Recently, while in Louisville attending the Derby and looking for the "real" killer, O.J. Simpson was asked to leave an upscale steakhouse. Jeff Ruby, the owner, said he didn't want to serve Simpson because he continues to receive so much attention. O.J. left without incident.

Now, O.J.'s attorney, Yale Galanter, claims the incident was about race. He plans to pursue the matter legally and possibly go after the restaurant's liquor license.

I'm sure Mr. Galanter is a good attorney and is probably pretty smart, but give me a break. A race issue?! News flash Yale - your client killed two people, owes millions of dollars to the families, and walks around like he's the King of England! This is definitely NOT a race issue!

I'm waiting for Al and Jesse to weigh in on this...

You don't see that everyday...

Jennifer and I, along with the rents, went to a fundraiser the other night for Junior League (Jennifer just joined). Part of the fundraiser was a live and silent auction. I saw something I have never seen, and probably will never see again, as part of any auction there. Ready for it? Are you sure?

One of the items on the silent auction was................a vasectomy. Yes, a V-A-S-E-C-T-O-M-Y!!! Suprisingly, no one bid on it.

At least it wasn 't part of the live auction...

All Done!

Well I am all done with law school! I had Remedies today. It wasn't too hard...open-book and notes - though I did write like a madman till the very end.

It's hard to believe that I am finished with law school. It seems like yesterday I was a nervous wreck going to my first day. Now...I'm done!

On to the Bar Exam. A job would be nice, too.

Job Situation #2

Well today I finally met with DWL concerning my job status at his firm. It went as expected, though not as I had hoped. I'll explain...

As I had guessed, everyone at the firm has been pleased with my work. I have gotten many compliments when I turn stuff in. Unfortunately quality of work doesn't always equal a job. I am interested in litigation, which the firm doesn't do a whole lot of. Apparently the firm recently had 3 big cases settle. A settlement is good for the clients but bad for the attorneys who need work (like me!)

Anyway, the firm has hired 2 summer clerks who are rising 3L's. Both are splitting the summer. DWL and I agreed that I would be "on-call" for any overflow clerk work that needed to be done. This will enable me to concentrate primarily on my Bar preparation. Then, in the fall, DWL and I will re-evaluate the firm's needs and see how they fit in with mine. I told him I'd be willing to continue as a clerk for a while...likely until I get my Bar results and, hopefully, become a licensed attorney.

So, as I said, it went as expected, but not as I hoped.

Would you turn a loved-one in?

Last night, while watching "Dog: The Bounty Hunter", Jennifer raised an interesting question. Seeing the families of the fugitives hide their loved-ones, Jennifer asked if I would turn her in if Dog was looking for her. I said I would. She said she would not turn me in. This resulted in friendly debate.

She admitted there is a double standard in her mind - she would turn in most people except for certain friends and family. She said it's a matter of loyalty. I said it's a matter of laws.

In my opinion, no one should be above the law...if you do the crime, you should do the time - no matter who you are.

That being said, I wouldn't immediate call the police and report it...I'd try to convince the person that they should turn themselves in.

What do you think?
