Not a good month for the legal profession....

As a general rule, it's not good to have a manic meltdown during settlement negotiations and in a courtroom. Or to have a client charge that you used thousands of their dollars for vacations. But then, last year wasn't good, either.

90% of lawyers give the rest of us a bad reputation. Actually, in small towns and cities, you guard your reputation very carefully. But in big places, where no one knows a reputation, and where hundreds of thousands are small sums, it gets to be different.
