Candy,
My guess is unfortunately, this isn't embellishment of an old "Ally McBeal" episode.
And had the opposing counsel lowered his trousers and masturbated into your coffee cup my guess is you would have requested sanctions. What happens when the opposing counsel is female, do you bring in one of the stud interns and stick a sock in his pants to distract her or play into her lesbian side? Is this why well over 50% of the law school grads are female? Or is this situation another reason why the formally respected legal profession is now below used car sales, and just above Arctic seal clubbers as a profession of respect and honor?
Sorry Candy, but as my lawyer (female) has already sucked six figures from my bottom line over the past two years defending a "nuisance" suit; your story touched a personal "hot button". The legal industry, it's no longer considered by me a profession, has become a caricature of itself. I believe you've done what you say, and I also believe you are not unique.
I am not a fan of Mr. Shakespeare. My ass starts to try to crawl out of the seat about half way through the first act. Having fallen asleep at EVERY Shakespearian play I've ever attended, from Broadway to High School productions, I know I'm too much of a cretin to appreciate his "genius". In King Henry VI, the man did suggest one thing that still applies today and would improve the lives of most Americans - "The first thing we must do is kill all the lawyers!"
beth warned me not to look at this thread too early in the morning. My apologies to the OP for the ranting and venting!
