PEOPLE WILL TALK
In the movie "People Will Talk" Cary Grant goes on a prophetic-for these times- soliloquy about Mother Nature trying to destroy people from time to time with a virus.
Sometimes truth is stranger than ficton and sometimes truth mirrors fiction. If you do not have patience, and you should these days, scroll head to 55 seconds and listen.
Hey Rumpole, see if you can still get and post what Judge is on video motion duty for the week- as we all know, all Judge's are not equal when it comes to release motions.
ReplyDeleteHave always been told that criminal defense is "recession proof", no word on it being depression proof.
ReplyDeleteI guess we are about to learn. My prediction is that the lawyers among us who would collect $20k retainers will start accepting 10. The $10k lawyers will take 5 and be happy with it. Ticket clinics will take DUIs for five hundred bucks. Others will accept the crumpled hundred dollar bill the client pulls out of his pocket with a promise "I'll get you next week", that of course will never materialize.
Once arrests pick up again, PD caseloads will fatten. Privates will get skinny. And the Florida Bar will continue to accredit ten different law schools, graduating thousands of JDs who will now more than ever not be able to pay back their law school loans.
