It’s for you My Lord

July 10, 2006 – 10:43 pm

Everyone can have a bad day, including judges it seems. U.S. District Court Judge William Shubb threw a bit of a fit when a mobile phone went off during a case. Demanding the phone from the owner he flung it out of the court door whereupon it demised with good grace from the embarrassment […]

Geeklawyer finds love …
