Know Thy Opposing Counsel

Work can occasionally be entertaining, especially when you work with a guy like Bad Pork-Loving Jew (hereinafter "BPLJ") (formerly known as "Sisqo" on this blog, but he said he preferred this new alias) (seriously).

BPLJ and I have been friends for seven years now, and he never fails to crack me up, be it intentionally or not. And the strangest things seem to happen to him! Here's a gem from BPLJ today:

This is too funny. I looked up my opposing counsel on the State Bar website and found the following. I just hope he doesn't flash me.

December 27, 2000

[Name omitted] [#Bar number omitted], 39, of Rancho Cucamonga was suspended for one year, stayed, placed on three years of probation with an actual 60-day suspension, and was ordered to pass the MPRE within one year and prove his rehabilitation. The order took effect Dec. 27, 2000, and he received credit for an interim suspension which began April 14, 2000.

[Name omitted] pleaded no contest to indecent exposure with priors in 1999 and was placed on interim suspension in April 2000. He stipulated that his actions were a violation of the State Bar Act.

In mitigation, he has no prior record of discipline and he cooperated with the bar’s investigation.

Man, the things you can find out on the California Bar website! Let's all cross our fingers for BPLJ.

Nobody wants to experience a Pee Wee Herman moment during a deposition.
