This Judge has the highest degree of integrity and cannot be manipulated either by politics or anything else. He protected the interests of a mentally compromised litigant and held a Lawyer to the obligation the Lawyer swore to uphold. This is an example of the Courts 'self-policing' Attorneys.<br /><br />Most of us work hard to improve the image of our Profession. I understand it is fun to make light of the legal profession as many make light of Law Enforcement. I hope one day this improves. I also hope that nobody finds their loved ones in need of a either a Lawyer or a Police Officer. I take solace in the fact that when this happens, in the vast majority of situations, you'll be protected by a Professional.

A silly little concept called "due process."<br /><br />We don't have princes and potentates here where "off with his head" really means something. <br /><br />If you Google the judge's name you will get that he indeed gave the guy notice and opportunity to be heard. Typically I think the procedure involves a show-cause order where the contemner must show why he is not in contempt. I think that's what happened here. That's why.<br /><br />Again I don't care who this guy puts in jail or why. Anybody who lives down there deserves what he gets -- I don't even like driving through -- and anybody who takes a fee from a mentally disabled client and then looks to get out of the case likewise deserves what he gets. I was just hoping for a little judicial restraint and lawyer self-policing in the hope that the entire bar does not look like a bunch of inbred halfwits. <br /><br />Obviously I'd hoped for too much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-22928732253337407582019-09-24T08:29:40.112-05:002019-09-24T08:29:40.112-05:00"doesn't it take notice and opportunity t..."doesn't it take notice and opportunity to be heard before being jailed for criminal contempt?"<br /><br />He had a notice telling him when to show up for his opportunity.

His law blog is frequently consulted by practicing attorneys, as well as other chancellors. He is not a wild-cowboy type, and he's nobody's political shill. I'm willing to bet this guy earned that order, and that it will withstand appeal, if that's where it goes.<br /><br />Folks, it ain't always about influence and politics.<br /><br />To 5:09, if "it" wasn't screwed up already, there would be no need for attorneys to get involved, and no one to pay their fees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-31480882060650187552019-09-23T17:50:03.040-05:002019-09-23T17:50:03.040-05:00Vendetta.

However doesn't it take notice and opportunity to be heard before being jailed for criminal contempt?<br /><br />Maybe such was had here. Maybe the judge is exactly right. Maybe the guy deserves it. I dunno but with no more evidence than is obvious I gotta wonder about the setup. Particularly when the contemner is running for office. <br /><br />I wish the Mississippi Bar did a better job of policing itself and that the Chancellor here used a little more restraint.<br /><br />Details, give us more details.<br /><br />I'm inclined to bet it's some kind of screwed up deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-53066055930295019772019-09-23T16:38:02.010-05:002019-09-23T16:38:02.010-05:003:52,
