Norman:
I have always been a BIG fan of lawyer jokes; which of course have a
wonderful basis in reality. I am not among the appeal group. I had to
fight
tooth and nail to get the unused portion of a retainer refunded to me from
one
of the law firms involved. My entire point is that the lawyer for the
appellate
group is being paid on an hourly fee basis; not a contingency basis; as you
shrewdly pointed out. As far as justice is concerned; I think we can forget
about that and I don't want to bore this group with those details. As
citizens;
we should never vote for any lawyer for public office, imho......What do you
call a lawyer with an IQ of 100? a judge......
