In a recent unscientific poll conducted on our website, more than half of respondents said their top legal-related New Year’s
resolution is to have a better work/life balance.
Fifty-two percent are seeking more balance in their lives when it comes to work and play. With these types of questions,
I wish our polling system allowed respondents to write in how they intend to achieve this balance. If that’s a goal
of yours, how do you plan on making it a reality in 2013?
The other answer that jumped out at me immediately: 13 percent want to leave the legal profession for another area this year.
Again, it’d be great to know where these attorneys plan on heading.
Twenty-two percent of people want to get more clients; and make partner, do more pro bono work, and retire each garnered
four percent of the votes. It also looks like no one intends to start his or her own firm this year.
Was your legal-related New Year’s resolution on the list? If not, what are you aiming for this year?

The court of appeals not only tries to rewrite or interpret the law to suit their fancy, now they choose play stupid as well. Every consideration must be given to pro se litigants, who are not held to the same standards as attorneys, as stated by,SCOTUS. I assume they didn't have a lawyer, since one wasn't mentioned and I strongly suggest thatb the rest of the, origional petitioners get back in there and fight for their rights.

the irony of situations like this is that the clients whom conour cheated are the ones who should be pulling hardest for him to remain free and keep his law license, so they have some hopes of him paying back. really bury the guy deep and then there will be little hope of restitution

Qualified immunity, means that if you wear a badge, you are exempt from law and free to do anything you please! The courts will back badge toting individuals, because they think they are above the law as well. They think, they have judicial immunity, they do not.

Deeply, deeply concerned? I'll bet if it was the judge's money that had been swindled we'd see deep concern with actual consequences. First a Ponzi scheme, then a shell game with the assets…c'mon, hasn't Conour abused the judicial system and his clients long enough? I say enough already.

Wow, just wow.
