Greatest collection of malfeasance and misconduct by a Crown in Canada's history? Arguably so. The Law Society of Manitoba, however, was more interested in protecting lawyers than protecting the public, and never saw fit to disbar him.

I was never up against him in court. As a civil litigator I didn't handle criminal cases except a number of courts martial and a few minor civil cases. From my time as a bencher of the Law Society and in general, I knew he was well respected as a hard-nosed and competent prosecutor. I've read the article and still have a hard time understanding what went off the rails here. These were all tough cases involving folks - accused and witnesses - on the low end of credibility. It's always easy for defence attorneys and even inquiry judges to find chinks and issues to pry open. I guess in the end I'll always have to say that I just don't know.

James is the gift that keeps on giving.
I was wondering when you’d post that.
Man, this guy’s spiral of self destruction is some of the best local drama in years.

Zealous advocacy for your clients ends when you start engaging directly with staff of the insurer you're suing. An interesting disciplinary case from Ontario.
Or so you have been led to believe.That's nice to know. I'll be riding the newly opened Line 4 pretty soon.

The regulator of lawyers in Ontario, without approval from the board, increased the chairman's pay by more than 50%.
The chair volunteered to rescind the contract in return for abandoning an investigation.
The LSO's treasurer, who approved the contract, has since been appointed to the bench.

Very 'enterprising' of him...
An Albuquerque attorney who investigators alleged was at the center of a sweeping corruption scandal that allowed people arrested for driving while intoxicated to evade conviction has pleaded guilty to federal charges, according to a plea agreement filed Wednesday.
Thomas Clear III admitted to running what federal authorities have referred to as a “DWI Enterprise” in which his firm offered gifts and thousands of dollars in bribes to officers in exchange for having DWI cases dismissed. His plea comes a day after he was suspended from practicing law by the New Mexico Supreme Court.
A third former Albuquerque police officer, Neill Elsman, also pleaded guilty Wednesday. He was among 12 officers placed on leave after the allegations became public last year.
