Just So You Know

Hide the interns and the law clerks, Mabel!!!!

So tomorrow President Clinton is eligible to practice law again. His 5 year suspension for lying under oath ends on 1/19/06 so once again, he can legally take cases and go before juries as the questioner instead of the questioned. But would you really want him as your attorney? After all, I would have a problem with hiring someone who can’t remember what he was doing and asks for the definition of is.
But then again, the American legal system works on cronyism. It might be good to have as your attorney someone who stacked the appellate courts with his friends and school chums. After all, many cases are truly decided on the golf course and over dinner rather than in the courtroom.
Luckily, since I probably won’t need an attorney in New York, I won’t have to worry about these questions.
