I’m a lawyer licensed in Louisiana and who practiced in a city other than New Orleans for years. In my area, for conduct like hers we used the phrase “New Orleans lawyer”, which is synonymous for “a-hole”.

Kelly needs to invoke the Fifth Amendment (maybe someone can tell her what it is) and Duncan needs to get new counsel – preferably a lawyer who is not illiterate.

I find it impossible to believe the poster writing as Kathy Kelly is the actual attorney. Is it at all possible that someone who has passed the bar could actually write so poorly? If so, that law school needs to be closed. I teach freshman undergrads and I’ve not witnessed such a poorly written item at that level. If this is the actual lawyer and not someone in the office writing in her name to give it some weight, the dude has no hope. Also, I saw on ESPN that Maurice Clarett has a blog so convicts apparently have access to computers. Could Jimmie Duncan be the culprit and signing his lawyer’s name?

Its a classic Scott. For years, my wife and my refrain when we encounter a particularly dim member of the local bar is to say “Aha! Practising law here.”
