Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Volume 275

I am often attacked on social media for purportedly “keeping drunk drivers on the road.” It’s a little tiring but also consistent with the new more toxic world of social media. It seems some people are simply unwilling to turn their minds to the fact that innocent people are regularly arrested for DUI. This week we’re going to look at some of the tremendously stupid wrongful DUI arrests recently reported. In one case, my close friend Sarah Schielke secured another significant settlement for one her clients that has helped pay for her building. In another, the police have sued the driver they wrongly arrested. In the third the police admitted on camera that the off-duty firefighter was sober but they arrested him for DUI anyway.

Kyla on RadioNLNews Mornings with Jeff & Bill: Hudson’s Bay workers in Kamloops, B.C., walk off the job in wage dispute

“…You have to wonder if this is the right move or if this may push the employer into a position where they’re forced to close.”

Weird and Wacky Wednesdays: Volume 274 Lawyers Edition

Lawyers get themselves into all sorts of trouble. Lawyers are people, going about their days, who are certainly not perfect. And lawyers lead interesting and complex lives because of their particular position in society, bringing them into contact with different people all of the time. And of course, there are conflicts. Most lawyers decided on that career path to do good things for society. The field also attracts narcissists – this is well studied, who may wish to prey on others.
