The plaintiff’s attorney is named Butch, and the defense hired someone named Poncho.
Are these normal names for members of the California bar?

While I don’t know any other Poncho’s, I do know a couple other Butch’s who are lawyers. I’ve also known some Skips and Skippys, which are much more common.
You read a story about a ‘team building exercise’ that included the losers getting spanked, feed baby food and forced to wear diapers, and you find the names of the attorneys to the be the strange thing?

Are you in NJ? One of the most powerful attorneys here is always referred to in print as Stephen “Skippy” Weinstein.

I was once on a flight, and the pilot announced his co-pilot was Rusty.
Not the sort of thing one should advertise, I thought.

Followed, of course, by the oral arguments.

And then, of course, a little moliter manus imposuit.
For the non-dorks:In a trespass action at common law, one is permitted to use a minimum level of force to eject a trespasser: moliter manus imposuit, or, he laid hands upon him gently. To those of us far too mature to giggle over comments about getting into each other’s briefs (yeah, I’m looking at you, SkipMagic), there was always a useful phrase when you saw a hottie: “moliter manus imposuit, baby!”
It’s true; law is the field for dorks who can’t do math.
My first thought upon reading this article was to divide my co-workers into “people I would like to have spank me” and “people whom I would sue if they spanked me”.
The second list was longer than the first. But boy oh boy, I could fantasize all day about the first list.

What, no Cisco?
The lawyer’s full name is given as K. Poncho Baker. That doesn’t really go together. Usually when a person uses a first initial and a middle name, the middle moniker is something more dignified than Ponch. You know, like C. Fenster McCandless III.
