I think I really like this guy! I found him because he commented to this post of mine, and I always figure if someone leaves a callin' card, go pay a visit. I have even found myself so single-minded in this habit, that I occasionally find myself of some comment spammer's site. I cannot tell you how little I relish doin' that, but I digress, as seems to be my habit, huh?
Well, anyway, so, as I was sayin', I went for a visit ... I just walked in the door and found myself in the middle of a discussion of a lawyer that also writes books and seems to have published a few. My eye caught sight of the name of Johnnie Cochran* and I strained my neck to try to discover what was up with that. And then I found A Public Service Announcement to the Readers of this Blawg. This paragraph clinched my decision to give his blog a place on my blogroll:
The purpose of this disclaimer is to state the author’s biases. The author of this blawg is a lawyer. As a lawyer, he is biased in favor of other lawyers or anyone studying to become a lawyer. If forced to choose between a lawyer and anyone else, he will usually choose the lawyer. However, even though he is friends with lawyers everywhere, he is not a member of any conspiracy by lawyers to take over either the country or the world. Although he does desire power and control, he mostly wants it over his wife. He fully understands that even in this department, the best he can hope to achieve is some freedom of movement around the house while she is sleeping. Even this will happen only if he’s very quiet.
In this single paragraph I found proof that he was a very affable fellow, had a sharp wit, and was damn smart when it came to women.
Please welcome to my blogroll Notes from the (Legal) Underground, written, produced, directed and music arranged by Evan Schaeffer, Esq.
*If'n ya ain't got no idea who the fork Johnnie Cochran** is, you missed the trial of the 1990's.***
**Yeah, I know ever'one knows who Johnnie Cochran is, but I couldn't find nuthin' else inane enough to footnote.
***I started to say the Trial of the Century, but I still gotta give that one to the Scopes Trial 'cause, I mean, who doesn't like a good legal tussel involvin' monkeys and preachers and the two best lawyers in the country at the time goin' head to head.
Posted by notGeorge at March 3, 2004 06:55 PMI found a few more lawyer's blogs recently.
They were well written and contained a modicum of humor.
I think there is hope for any profession that blogs. :)
