This discussion reminds me of a joke. Theres a bad traffic jam, and here comes a guy walking down the highway from up ahead. so this guy sitting in his car rolls down the window and asks him what's the cause of the traffic jam.

"oh, there's a lawyer threatening to set himself on fire in the middle of the road because his wife is divorcing him. I'm taking up a collection for him."

The guy in the car asks how much he has so far.

"about 3 gallons..."

Kill 'em all, let the ABA sort 'em out!

The BAR Association stands for British Accredited Registry which is controlled and owned by the "The Crown" in the City of London which is privately owned by the Rothschild family. (see page 53 of July/August 2003 Media Bypass article entitled "American Arrested for Used Underwear" by Rebecca Beggs with with reference to common law).

This BAR Association is being investigated and some are calling for a Grand Jury to indict the Bar Association for fraud and treason against American citizens.

As quoted from the same source and page: "Over 1,000 Americans have mailed in documentation to the chief officers of the United States and state governments and the Commissioner of the Internal Revenue stating these facts and the government and the Commissioner have never once denied it."

The BAR is anti-American, anti-God, and anti-Law.

That depends on how you define mad. Because myself and millions of other Americans are literally disgusted with lawyers. Especially so with the lawyers that broker deals with judges, clerks, and tamper with witnesses, evidence and threaten litigants from exercising their due process to redress their grievances in a court of law. Those courts are our courts and not the judges or the lawyers. Everybody is plain sick of this judicial system and how corrupt things really are.

The court is the process, not the judge or the lawyer. The law is not what the judge or the lawyer says. The judge is supposed to observe the law and the lawyer is supposed to abide by the court rules just as the judge!

Jefferson was a lawyer

He was? No shiite! Was he really, or did he play one on TV?

Coffee has been served hot for decade after decade.

I don't brew my coffee hot enough to cause third-degree burns. And I expect any coffee I purchase to be that hot.

Please, remind me why I should have sympathy for that old fool,...

Because she purchased coffee with the expectation that it would be fit for human consumption. As it turned out it wasn't even fit for contact with human tissue.

No offense here, Labyrinthos, but I think its you that is clueless as to what is going on in our legal system. Millions of people are fed up with corrupt attorneys and judges. This country is in a state of anarchy. Judges don't abide by the principle of laws but dictate "laws" from the bench and attorneys screw with clients money everyday. I read about this all the time in the lawyer journals, state bar complaint site, and lawyer profiles. Enough is enough. The only reason why attorneys like the one that got shot get away with this crap is because the state bar shields them from personal liability, doesn't disbar them, and doesn't discipline them at all.

Of course this attorney is probably a "respectable" man but that may be only in appearance only. He may be terribly innocent of what happened to him but it is attorneys like him that may have had dozens of people in the past complaining about his actions, if any, but the state bar chooses to take no action. Why? Tell me why???

How many years has McDonald's been in business? How many gazillions of gallons of coffee has McDonald's sold over the years to how many millions of people daily? And one day here comes another frivilous lawsuit. Why was the judgement seeked so high?

I don't think for one minute that McDonald's specified to whoever they bought their service equipment from to internally set the thermostats to a lethal level, do you? Would you personally as a business owner knowingly risk your customers that way?

There comes a time when this Country needs to stop being a bunch of Whiners and Enablers. Used to be something like this was even considered, the lawyers and judge who even thought of approving it would've been ridden out on a rail.

Do you have any idea how high the price of things are just because the liability factor of ambulance chasers is figured in? Take a little tour of this site for examples of the "common good" lawyers foist on Humanity.

This poor sap who got shot, however, was the trustee's lawyer, not the shooter's.

I don't know what ails the shooter, but the type of trust was a special needs trust, and I suspect his parents set money aside for the care of their fruitcake, or possibly spendthrift/addict son.

It will be interesting to get more information...

I never met a lawyer I liked.

Either you haven't met many, or you just don't like people in general. If you're only contact has been in connection with a legal proceeding, I might understand that, except that you must have hired a jerk.

Lawyers are just ordinary people who have been trained in the law, just like doctors are ordinary people who have been trained in medicine. There are jerks in both professions.

The jury in that coffee case was punishing McDonalds because
McD's rather arrogantly announced their super-hot (much, much hotter than home-brewed) coffee would continue to be kept at scalding temps; they didn't care about the high number of sever injuries it had caused before, had caused in the present case, or would cause in the future.

Two little kids talking:
First kid: "My Daddy's a lawyer"
Second kid: "Honest"?
First kid: "Nah, he's just the regular kind"

And by the way, you selectively chose to ignore what I said about being responsible for yourself. If it's hot, it's your responsibility to check and see if it's tolerable.

My husband is a lawyer. He's the best man I've ever known.

His clients not only get good advice and sharp representation; his clients call here sometimes, and they can't tell me enough how much he's helped them get through a hard time, what a good heart he has; that he's been their emotional rock as well as their legal protector.
