Public Defender Coker Endorses D.A. Dumanis’s Mayoral Run
Coker and Dumanis are both local graduates of the Thomas Jefferson School of Law — Bonnie Dumanis in 1976 and Henry Coker in 1985. == NEITHER of these two clowns are graduates of "Thomas Jefferson School of Law". Sorry Gail, you need to get the facts rigth. TJSL is an ***ABA accredited LS** that took over Western State Law School, which was a notorious NON-ABA accredited law school that didn't even require a 4-year bachelors degree to get into. BOTH graduated from Western State-a non ABA LS and are limited to practicing law ONLY in this state, CA. 45 states REQUIRE graduation from an ABA LS to practice law, CA is one of only 5 that allow un-accredited LS students to sit for the state Bar.— October 14, 2011 5:16 p.m.
Public Defender Coker Endorses D.A. Dumanis’s Mayoral Run
When she went after the meek and the weak, it was not something that made the area a better one to live in. == Well said— October 14, 2011 5:12 p.m.
Dig a Hole: The 35mm Movie Camera (1888-2011)
"Toy Story" was the first 100% digital, full length, animated film, and I believe "Star Wars Epsiode I The Phantom Menance" was the first live action 100% full length, digital film— October 14, 2011 5:10 p.m.
Ninth Circuit Refuses to Reconsider Soledad Cross Ruling
The 9th is right-for once. It is unconstitutional. The 10 Commandments case in Texas was an AWFUL decision by the 5th Circuit-know that case well. it does not surpose me that idiot Bea would argue that TX case in support of Soledad. This case started, I believe, in 1988, it is nearly a quarter of a century old now. Time to put this case to rest. I still do not understand why the city/gov/whoever has title to it today doesn't just sell the small area under the cross to a private party. Problem solved.— October 14, 2011 5:01 p.m.
Shames Rejoins Bar
The CA State Bar is a JOKE. The people in charge are a joke. Former Bar President Sheldon Sloan and I got into it for him not doing his job. Had the biggest chip on his shoulder you could imagine, and dumber than a bag of rocks. I still told him off. They are much like every other gov agency/employee, full of idiots. Gov is and always will be full of incompetent and substandard performance and ehtics. They are not sunject to the free market, as such their incompetence does not allow them to lose their jobs.— October 13, 2011 10:28 p.m.

Actually 50% is probbaly low-I would bet it is well above 50%. Remember, there are now 200 ABA accredited law schools, that is not counting all the unaccredited law schols we have here in CA, at least another 10 or 15. Thomas Jefferson LS here in SD is currently being sued-class action- by one of their law grads who graduated near the top of her class 3 years ago- THREE YEARS AGO!!!!....and after 3 years has never been employed as a lawyer. Remember, this is not a student who was in the bottom 50%, or the bottom 75%, she was an editor of the schools law journal and graduated near the top of her class, she was a top student (if SHE cannot find a lawyer job it is highly doubtful any TJLS grad can); http://abovethelaw.com/2011/05/lawsuit-of-the-day… And if you think that I am over tsating the problem, read this; http://abovethelaw.com/2011/10/fifteen-more-law-s…— October 13, 2011 10:21 p.m.

but can they label themselves as a 'legal analyst' and be paid for that == Sure they could. There is no legal or licensing requirement to hold yoruself out as a "legal analyst". There was a disbarred lawyer (Morrison and Foerster firm) from many years ago, and she had expertiese in municipal law and was the city attorney for a number of small So Cal cities. After she weas disabrred she was able to get these cities to hire her under a title similar to the one you have described. She was charging the same rate she did as a licensed lawyer, about $200 an hour. I forgot her name. I don't think the State Bar was able to do anything. If I remember her name I will post it. FOUND HER! It was Cristeta Paguirigan, she was a "litigation specialist" with South Gate. Disbarred but still performing legal services under a bogus title. She was indicted on another matter for practicing without a law license; http://articles.latimes.com/2003/mar/22/local/me-…— October 13, 2011 4:21 p.m.

I would think someone with a law degree who couldn't pass the bar could become a paralegal after taking the required courses. == A law scholl grad has 10 times the legal knowledge of a paralegal. Maybe 20 times, they need not take any course. Many LICENSED lawyers who cannot find work as attorneys after LS graduation-well over 50% pof ALL LS grads today cannot find work- try to get jobs as paralegals. Firms will not hire a LS grad as a paralegal, licensed or not, they know they will quit.— October 13, 2011 4:15 p.m.
