Actually, my black Cole Haan loafers have a hole in one of the soles. I haven’t had any lawyers mention it yet, but my wife regularly complains about it. Of course, someone may be drafting a blistering motion at this very moment. Anyway, have any of you tried to find a convenient shoe repair shop recently? It’s as though they’ve dropped off the face of the earth in the last ten years or so.

The premise in the motion is that a poor lawyer will bring sympathy, but a well to do lawyer will not.

At least to that jury.

In general that premise will be wrong in much of the nation, because poverty is seen as a moral failing while wealth is seen as a sign of moral superiority.

Especially in the states where the “prosperity gospel” has morphed from the “blessings and cursings” religious notions of Judaism (Leviticus 26).

Perhaps the court will rule that if one counsel wants the other counsel to wear a certain type of shoe, said counsel will have to buy him or her that pair?
