To understand a lot of what I am going to write about today and probably several more times this year you need to accept as fact that attorneys in this area (if not everywhere) are prissy, vindictive gossipy crybabies with one exception me. I am not prissy.
Our Chancery (family/probate/land) court district has three judges who hear cases in a 6 county region with this county being the busiest with over 2500 new cases filed in 2007. In the past everything has run smoothly with a computer randomly assigning which judge would hear each case. That was until late last year.
In the past I have written about two lawyers who 1st filed a confidential complaint about a judge sexually harassing them, who then filed motions attaching the complaint to them for the world to see. The next step was to sue him in federal court. All of this to keep him from hearing their cases.
Today, the opening shot from the other attorneys was fired. Seems the that the female judge was represented by one of the two female attorneys who filed the compliant. By law the judge should have disclosed that to each and every attorney on the other side of cases she was hearing where her former attorney was involved. So that is the current battle. If the other attorneys win then the two complaining female attorneys can only have the last remaining judge hear their cases.
And that is what they wanted all along. It has long been known that there is a bias with this last judge towards these two. If that were then end of it I would have to Say getting the female judge kicked would be a dumb move which is why I haven't tried.
The final shot is still being investigated and drafted, but there is a large cabal of attorneys working to gather evidence to have the last judge at the very least kept from hearing cases the two females are working and possibly to have him removed from the bench altogether.
It is the goal of this cabal to destroy the careers of the two females. It should make for a interesting year. And before anyone thinks the good old boys are running the only two female attorneys out of town, the local bar association is about a 50/50 split and the cabal is composed mainly of women.

Hey there mister lawyer sir,
I had two questions for you tonight, one serious and one slightly not so...First of all if you were to be locked in a bomb shelter for 50 years or so what would the drink youd take down with you?...and second of all over here in australia we here alot of stories about the American justice system and all its faults and flaws, How much of this is true? could a murderer get away with anything with the right lawyer? and if so do you think this is a world wide occurance because i do try to believe that in every corner of the world, justice means justice and that justice CANNOT be bought...but hey thats why skeptics were invented isnt it...anyway if you have a reply id be more then willing to hear it.
Blogger - I would have to mix it up a bit. Top choice for this yank would be Carlton Draught. Next in line would be Harp and Red Stripe and Blue Moon.
Our flaws ae no worse than yours. I USED to be a memeber of the Law Institute of Victoria and Law Society of NSW.
No I do not believe that the right lawyer can get you off of every charge, but some lawyers are better than others.
