Four San Diego lawyers give $40,000 to anti-death penalty measure
BTW-what most of these law grads should do, the oens that cannot be hired (so many), is start doing civil rights cases where the fees are PAID by the opposing side-if you win. They set that system up so more private lawsyers would take those cases. And when you get a few cases/wins under your belt you can start charging a big hourly rate. You take a big risk and lots of learning by failure, but the pay off is there.— August 28, 2012 12:32 p.m.
Four San Diego lawyers give $40,000 to anti-death penalty measure
A law school grad with no experience could never in a million years do a DP case-never. In fact when you graduate LS it takes another 3-5 years to ramp up on the procedural issues of law. Seriously, the issues that surround civil and criminal procedure/s is volumous- look at the code books-it is crazy. AND constantly changing. I think it would be a great idea to get a "clinic" going, which they do have with other prisoner issues, but you also have to remember these are death penalty cases, you need a lawyer who is very skilled. ... The answer is to abloshish the DP. It **IS** justified in many cases, but the problem is the application and implementation of it. It is applied in a capricious and arbitrary manner and the appeals process is cost prohibative.— August 28, 2012 12:29 p.m.

Auditor Confirms It: Convention Center Attendance Figures Misleading
**The fact that you've got some shady supporters, including big sports boosters and the usual roster of downtown movers and shakers, in addition to Jacobs (who got a very sweet deal on the naming rights for the stadium,..."** OK we have been down this road before-the stadium deal was actually ABOVE market at the time the deal was inked. It was $18 million in 96(??), and the money was ALL upfront. Most deals at that time were in the same $1 million per year range-but paid over time, whereas the city needed the $18 million to finish the upgrades. Qualcomm did the city a favor by stepping up and doing the deal in all UPFRONT CASH. I have not seen the same deal before, nor since, on stadium naming rights. So San Diego made out great on that deal, except for the fact that the deal was for 18 or 20 years and naming right fees went through the roof a few years later. I think Petcodeal was $154 million, but don't recall the details, I know it was on installment basis, like they all are.— August 28, 2012 12:55 a.m.
