There was a case in Cook County where an individual lawyer got $10K and the firm $49K.

For sheer ability to make me get up and leave a room, nothing beats that character's pathological hostility to everyone about everything

Alito ticking off bad stereotypes of Italian-Americans - from '70s TV shows. The author giving him credit for being a great guy because he didn't bite his head off during setup for the interview. This has taken 8 months off my life.

I've only read the first several paragraphs of this fawning dreck but I don't think I can choke down any more. The humility of blue-collar Trenton immediately undermined by Scalia's hatred of it. The SYMPATHY for Alito for having served 20 terms...! Hey pal, there's the door with the gold doorknob!

It's true at least in my jx that you rarely if ever see prosecutors formally charged with violating Rule 1.1. But charges on that rule are fairly rare overall & are still more rarely deployed against lawyers working in a large or established structure (government office, big or medium firm, etc).

The duty of competence does involve knowledge, skill, and preparation. I wouldn't say it's common to see prosecutors withdraw due to anticipated or existing inability to prepare, but a) these are not common times and b) it would be at least arguably consistent with 1.1 and 1.16.

These people are positively addicted to tell-offs and dunking, especially when one of them accidentally tells another the truth
