Subject: Black & White Suits in Support of Pakistani Lawyers

The world was inspired this week when thousands of Pakistani lawyers, many of them from law schools in this country, took to the streets as torchbearers of democracy. After President Musharaff abolished the Supreme Court and four Provincial High Courts, scrapped the Constitution and detained Supreme Court judges, lawyers in black suits and ties marched in peaceful protest to this affront to the rule of law. Their march was not met peacefully-instead, they encountered police batons, fists, and tear gas. Thousands of them have been injured and arrested. Some have even been charged with treason, which carries a sentence of death.

In a quiet gesture of respect, and in honor of all those who risk life and liberty to take a stand for justice, Austin lawyers are asked to wear black suits and white shirts on Wednesday, Nov. 14. May we all be granted the strength and courage to make the sacrifices that they have.

UF gave that idiotic war criminal an opportunity to speak? I'll never give a penny to that shit-hole. Why don't they pay him an extra $10K to remove the porn-stache

And the law school's career services office is the worst. It's amazing that UF school is ranked as high as it is (which it isn't).

Maybe he's hoping for a stint on Battlestar Galactica if Olmos kicks the bucket. Because that's all he's ever been qualified to lead--an imaginary space ship.

UF is awesome. I got to see President Bush (#1) and Mikhail Gorbachev when I went there. Don't hate sip on Haterade folks...

And FYI - UF invented that shit, too.
