Bullshit Law of the Day.

Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 6106.1. Advocating to overthrow government cause for disbarment or suspension.

Advocating the overthrow of the Government of the United States or of this State by force, violence, or other unconstitutional means, constitutes a cause for disbarment or suspension.

What the hell? I think that should be superseded by a Thomas Jefferson gem:

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.It is its natural manure.

Good 'ole T.J.Always there to help out in a ethical pinch. I fervently hope that one day I bear witness to a case in which an attorney sees advocating the overthrow of the government as a viable and necessary argument for his client.

Professional Responsibility.

So I'm sitting in my first night of professional responsibility, aka the class I have to take to make sure I can afford rent this summer.

My professor is opening up with explaining the procedure for complaints to the state bar, and she says that the current state bar prosecutor is very tough, and that she's only been able to work deals for some of her clients by "shucking and jiving."

Shucking and Jiving: -noun Slang.

misleading or deceptive talk or behavior, as to give a false impression.

Acknowledging the use of shucking and jiving while professing the importance of professional responsibility? Pure lovely fucking irony.
