A funny thing about the character and fitness component of becoming a lawyer is that is only evaluates the things you’ve done. If the vetters ever get their hands on a set of Precogs and are able to make a Minority Report future-telling device, you can only imagine the sorts of reasons people would get their licenses revoked down the line. Imagine the surprise of hearing that you’d be preemptively disbarred for throwing a Molotov cocktail at the police or swindling the people you swore to zealously represent out of $5,000. Even with that power, some offending acts would still sound like a bad game of Mad Libs. Try this story covered in the ABA Journal on for size:
A lawyer in Albany, New York, was accused Friday of violating an order of protection, hitting a woman, stealing beer, and trying to bite a police officer.
Lawyer Luke Malamood, 40, of New York was charged in a 21-count indictment[.]
Lawyering in Albany might make make it harder to access the sort of relaxation you might find in Manhattan or Staten Island, but there have to be things higher up on the list than allegedly violating orders of protection and biting officers. In addition to warning him against biting officers in the future, maybe one of the Precogs would have recommended that he bought a PS5?
