To turn good intentions into great record keeping, consider observing the following expiration dates for your documents. |

LEGAL TIDBITS |

Judge, Prosecutor and Witness:
An Ohio judge faced disciplinary action after he came off the bench in a case he was presiding over and played the role of the prosecutor. Oh yeah, he also played the role of a witness after taking his robe off. During the disciplinary hearing, a member of the Ohio Supreme Court said, "You're saying a judge can testify in a case and then decide that case? Wow." Another member of the Supreme Court stated the obvious when he said that it is questionable behavior when a judge makes the closing statement in a case and then decides the same case. The judge was suspended for six months.
Another Judge Behaving Badly:
A judge in Pierce County Washington was disciplined for telling defendants that they faced life imprisonment for minor violations. More specifically, he told defendants appearing over minor fines that they would spend their lives in "The Crowbar Hotel". The judge claimed that the defendants knew he was joking. Further investigation of the judge's conduct regarding allegations he banished certain people from the county were terminated when he promised never to preside over another case.
Where's Johnnie?:
If you're talking about Johnnie Cochran, he's everywhere. Representing O.J. Simpson, it seems, is a good way to expand your practice. The Cochran Firm now has 120 lawyers in eight states and may open an office in the Caribbean. While representing Simpson, Cochran had a single office with several associates. There is also Cochran Florida, a separate legal entity consisting of lawyers who handle mass torts actions against drug companies. In addition to a book he recently had published, there is also "The Johnnie Cochran Song" that is reportedly sung by children in Soweto, South Africa.

The Late Awakening
 Well the elections are over and now life must go on. The Democrats did not fare well and President Bush has what he wanted. However, I must admit, yes I did not know that this day would come, but President Bush has grown in the presidency.
But this does not mean that he should sit on his laurels. He might not be the White House
occupant in another two years. His father was enjoying an all-time popularity high and not focused on the economy, when an unknown southern governor named Bill Clinton came and evicted him. I hope that this will not be deja vu. President Bush should be given a chance. His agenda however, must not be too far right. If he maintains a moderate stance then who knows he might be one of our best Presidents yet. Ok don't choke! The UN has also passed its resolution and only time will tell what the Iraqi leader will do. Again this is the right way to proceed if we are going to have war. As for the Democratic party, it needs a leader. Neither the Democratic leader in the House or the Senate is such a person. Will it be Al Gore? Maybe not! So for now, the party has seemingly gone into the wilderness. If President Bush keeps going like this, the party might remain in the wilderness until 2008. Remember I said it. Look out for Hillary.
Covering it Up Real Good: Cover Letters
by Stephen Earley Jordan, II
 A friend of mine just graduated from college. The only work experience he has is as a college
newspaper reporter, and some odd jobs during the summer. He wants a job as a writer. Or, better yet,
as an editor for a newspaper, for a magazine, for a book publisher—it doesn’t
matter.But, he lacks real work experience.
Like my friend, I was in this situation. And, unsurprisingly, you were probably in that situation
as well one time or another. Even if you’ve never been in that situation and
simply wanted to change careers, how can you get your foot in the door? --CONTINUE

Ok this month I did one of my favorites. It's a sort of chicken
pot pie. You might be more familiar with using ground beef to do a Shepherd's Pie. Actually shepherd's pie was one of my favorite meals when I lived in Quebec, Canada. Madeleine, my host
mom would prepapre this at least twice per month. Since I was no good at using ground beef, I
invented my own method and used chicken breast instead. Ok, enough said. Enter da Kitchen

Two young photographers are on a shooting in a famous Kenyan safari park.
They had spent the day snapping giraffes, leopards, gazells - anything that came into view.
Walking back to their jeep they spotted a pride of lions.
They were clicking away like crazy, when a large male lion stood up and gave out a loud roar.
One of the photographers slipped off his boots and put on a pair of running shoes.
The other photographer looked at him and said: "You'll never outrun a lion!"
To which the other replied: "I don't care about the lion as long as I can outrun you!"

A guy walks into a bar and notices two pieces of meat on the ceiling. He asks the bar man for a pint and the bar
man asks, "Don't you want to participate in our competition?" The guy asks "What's it all about?"
The barman informs him, "All you have to do is get those pieces of meat off the ceiling and you get a free pint!
If you fail, you have to buy the whole pub a drink."
The guy replies, "No I don't think so mate .................the steaks are too high!"
