  1. I have no idea how common it is, but my wife bills her criminal cases, up to and including murder, by the hour. Some are court appointed, most are not. Well, I guess she sometimes charges a flat rate for first time DWI's and trucker speeding tickets and such, if the clients are of, shall we say, more limited means. Regarding bail: I think she basically agrees with you. She is currently representing a man accused of murder. Based on the specific facts of the case which I'm not going to go into, he presents a zero risk to the community, and a very very small risk of flight. Someone sitting in jail is losing their job and perhaps losing their house, their kids aren't getting to school on time if at all, their elderly parents aren't getting taken care of, etc etc etc.

  6. Daughter had her regional cross country meet (District champs two years running) yesterday. The team placed 5th out of 25ish teams. Top four advance to the state meet, so they missed out on that. After the meet, she was bawling her eyes out because two members of the fourth team finished just ahead of her. I tried to explain how the scoring works and that if she had passed them, it wouldn't have changed the results in the final tally. I know, its not about facts and logic. I also hugged her and said I was proud of her (she PRed). Still full of drama and angst this morning. However... 36 hours later, she's over it. On the way home earlier she told me her plan to win homecoming queen her senior year (she a soph this year): Make friends with all the freshman at the beginning of year, instead of ignoring them for two months and then trying to get their vote the week of homecoming.
