With Lawblog 2008 happening tomorrow in a pub Geeklawyer thought that, while drunken shenanigans were entirely acceptable, a warning needed to be given: you are lawyers and so highly regarded by The Lowing Herd, your peers and your punters. Remember that it is a crime to get caught drunk driving. Getting caught that is.
If you must drink & drive then drive slowly and carefully and everything will be fine.
Don’t, whatever you do, do what these two Oklahoma asshats did: attorney Lewis B. Moon, 42, and Oklahoma County public defender David James Bedford, got totaled and drove around causing trouble in a drive-in diner.
When arrested they behaved extremely badly. Which is fine; that’s what one is supposed to do. But after being goaded by the local filth about being sent to County Jail they bit and insisted on going. In fact they did so repeatedly. They got the “County Jail” baton & ran with it. Not only did they run with it they got a gold medal.
I don’t mind a fellow getting drunk but for heaven’s sake as a lawyer, even of the lowest grade, one ought to be able to trash a retarded pig however drunk one is.
Frankly, these guys are hobby drinkers: for some us, it’s professional & we are embarrassed.
I am not a lawyer but I would never get drunk in front of lawyers..that is fraught with danger.
Was it him being a pig or retarded that caused you passing amusement? Was it both? I’m off out to hunt and skin me a family law barrister.
you have to give them credit; i doubt i could ‘drive around causing trouble in a drive-in diner’ sober or drunk.
see ya ce soir
I think what I have to give them is 3 months breaking rocks, for being twats.
As a former prosecutor, I’ve always had the opinion that those that get caught driving drunk.…are lousy drivers to begin with.
