Lawyers on Strike

Lawyers doing indigent defense in Oregon went on strike because they were capped at $550 for most cases and $3,750 for homocides.

Hmmm . . .

What are we paid her in Virginia? Oh yeah, that's right: $395 per most felonies and $1096 for very serious felonies (homicide, aggravated malicious wounding, etc.)

Ah, who cares about the money? I can live off my trust fund. Whatdaya'mean I don't have a trust fund? You mean I actually have to work to pay my bills? Aw crud.
