I wonder if he used his billing rate or hers.

So, she was naked...in his office...dancing on his lap.... and he touched her?
I find that hard to believe.
Posted by: Erb's point | September 22, 2008 at 09:36 AM
He just should have represented her pro bono.
Posted by: SW | September 22, 2008 at 09:38 AM
I think the pro bono is what got him into trouble.
Posted by: Erb's point | September 22, 2008 at 09:42 AM
Stevie, thanks for saying "bono." Your restraint is admirable.

I wonder what she was originally busted for. And did he get her off?
Posted by: SW | September 22, 2008 at 09:44 AM
. . . this was following a string of cases against her.

Corpus Delecti, indeed

What, that's wrong? You never heard of the barter system?
I wonder what she was originally busted for. And did he get her off?
I think it was the other way around, Stevie.

I'd like to take a machete to his pro boner...sheesh.
(sorry, pad)

$534??????
Who pays $4 for a lap dance??
Unless it was 2 $7 dances...

... thus launching the new ABC spinoff "Chicago Legal" ...
Posted by: Steve Haller | September 22, 2008 at 10:12 AM
That sounds like it's barely legal.
Posted by: Margaritaville | September 22, 2008 at 10:17 AM
No, I said 'posse'
Posted by: oldmanatee | September 22, 2008 at 10:28 AM
We really do need pictures for this thread to be successful.
Posted by: Erb's point | September 22, 2008 at 10:34 AM
His pen-holder also filed a complaint.

"A lawyer was suspended for more than a year..."
More than a year? I thought he was supposed to see a doctor after four hours.
Posted by: SW | September 22, 2008 at 10:48 AM
That's why lawyers never stick to the bare facts.
It gets them into trouble.
Posted by: phil | September 22, 2008 at 11:09 AM
"...the client contended he touched her inappropriately during those dances,..."
Please don't tell me he tried to take a bite out of crime.
Posted by: SW | September 22, 2008 at 11:24 AM
Creve! People actually bid for that pen. You Blogals should get to work starting some competition. I sense a new campaign fundraiser for his Daveness.
Posted by: Elon Weintraub | September 22, 2008 at 11:34 AM
He was sooooooooooooo set up!
Posted by: slyeyes | September 22, 2008 at 11:35 AM
The woman no longer works as a stripper, the report said.
No, she is now an intern for me!
Posted by: Billy C | September 22, 2008 at 11:41 AM
We have made it this far and no one has used the term "law Firm"...
Posted by: oldmanatee | September 22, 2008 at 11:43 AM
Elon, I think we're going to need Punkin's help...
Posted by: Steve Haller | September 22, 2008 at 11:53 AM
Steve, Punkin's kinda busy right now. She's raising a litter of cats in her brassiere.
Posted by: Siouxie | September 22, 2008 at 11:57 AM
He suspended and she's no longer a stripper - so they're both dis-barred.

Butt Siouxie has some cigars for sale. ;P
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 22, 2008 at 12:01 PM
*snork* Annie! um...
Posted by: Siouxie | September 22, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Siouxie, something like this ?
Posted by: Steve Haller | September 22, 2008 at 12:03 PM
Souxie,I have been looking for a personal humidor...
Posted by: oldmanatee | September 22, 2008 at 12:09 PM
Steve - linky stinky...but did you mean a nice sexy Cuban cigar like this?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 22, 2008 at 12:10 PM
For your 'tiparillo,' oldmanatee?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 22, 2008 at 12:11 PM
Annie, I love that picture of me and my ceegar!
Posted by: Siouxie | September 22, 2008 at 12:49 PM
You look mahvelous. The surgery did wonders for you!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | September 22, 2008 at 01:12 PM
At your service!
Posted by: Cheatham & Humper | September 22, 2008 at 03:41 PM
You know, I was a lawyer for 36 years and never thought of doing anything like that. Damn!What's wrong with me? My "internal lizzard" instincts must be underdeveloped.
Posted by: Benjamin | September 22, 2008 at 04:17 PM
More like inflagrante delicto.
Which for people who don't know is literally translated:
"Flagrantly, in a delicatessen."
(I hope I spelled that right.)
You know what I wanna know?
What kind of stripper sues someone after a lap dance?
I mean, if 20$ won't get me a lap dance, what makes you think I'd be willing to pay (hundreds, possibly thousands) in a lawsuit?
I'm jest sayin.

"Stripper and the Premature Beaver Effects..." WBAG... nevermind, I'm going to go lie down for a while...
Posted by: frodolives | September 22, 2008 at 09:39 PM
I need to bone up on my legal terms; was this quid pro quo, or tit-for-tat?
Also need to look up banging the gavel, and head juror. The lawyer will probably use a defense such as, "Your honor, I misunderstood. I could swear you told me to crotch-examine the witness."
