Jack Thompson Facing Disbarment Trial
pwizard2 writes "Gamepolitics reports that controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson faces the start of an ethics trial this morning, a process which could ultimately see him disbarred. The review board has set aside the entire week to hear details on the case. 'Over the weekend, Thompson turned to the Florida Supreme Court in an apparent effort to block this morning's trial from moving forward. In one court filing Thompson asserted that he was willing to accept a 90-day suspension of his license to practice law. The embattled attorney claimed that such an offer had been on the table, but that the Florida Bar was now seeking his permanent disbarment.'"
So.. "Because he's a douchebag" isn't an ample reason?
Are you sure? How about dismemberment?

a clue about what? what are you implying??
For some reason I read dismemberment instead of disbarment in the article summary and I was all like "whoa".
Don't worry, in the end, Gabe and Tycho will save him by making a donnation to the Crazy Attorney Fund in his name and he will react by suing them for extorsion.
Everyone here initially and wishfully read that title as "Dismemberment Trial".
Well whats wrong with hitting him with 'dis bar in my hand or 'dat bar over there?

Yeah, yeah, that's what all communist pedophiles who make snuff films say. Didn't fool the great McCarthy, and you won't fool Jack, either!

Well, the solution would seem to be, Get a couple black helicopters with Take Two or Vice City logos on the side and have them fly around the the disbarment trial dropping 10% discount leaflets a few days into the trial and the day the verdict comes in.
Then maybe he would blow a gasket and get committed to a mental ward after the fact.
Trying not to imagine a visual of a bared Jack Thompson.

Even Mike Godwin thought he was doing the right thing, but his so-called 'Law' is obvously just the sort of fascist crap Hitler would come up with.

each state has different requirements, but all have some sort of ethics requirement
Errr ethics for lawyers? What is the question "would you sell your grandmother for a BMW or cash?" The "ethical" answer being cash as cars contribute to global warming.

Damn... how messed up are you when you can't even pass the ethics requirements to be a lawyer?
Jack Thompson walks into a bar, and the bartender yells "get out, you!"?
