The Rakofsky 74
Badges of honor come in many shapes and sizes. Some have ribbons and pieces of tin. Some exist as scars–some visible, some covered. Some are merely ideas through which we are associated. Many lawyers talk of being held in contempt for vociferously defending their client as one such ideological badge.
Now, I have mine. I heard from credible sources that I’m part of the Rakofsky 74. What a group! By my accounting and perception, I’m one of the smaller fish (compared to large media corporations and several much, much better attorneys). But, hey, the water is cool and the sun is out. Great day for a swim. Sometimes, true happiness is not in what you do, but the company you keep.
So many things to say, but I really don’t want to waste your time. Simple Justice did a great one-over-the-world on the case and the counsel for Rakofsky, as has Jamison Koehler and a host of others. For my part, it originates from my analysis of a Washington Post article here. The Washington Post is also a member of the ’74.’
It seems there may be a litigation party for those of us involved. Sounds like fun. There might even be an inflatable bouncy house. You know how it goes–any excuse for a party.
Frankly, my opinion and perspective on this amazingly frivolous case is best explained through one of my favorite jokes.
Know what the white stuff is in bird shit?
(target typically responds with “No, what is it?”)
That’s also bird shit.
Yep, got it.
H/T to Rakofsky 74 fellows and countless other supporters who’ve communicated such to us/me.
Oh, and one more thing. I was just made aware by An Associate’s Mind of a comment left at the DC based City Paper. It is from a purported juror from the case that gave rise to our examinations of Rakofsky’s representation. Here it is.
UPDATE: Scott Greenfield verified the identity of “Randy.” Yes, he was a juror.
So….are you the infamous J-Dog? Or did I miss your name among the litany of others. I’m saddened that I was not one of the 1,074 lawyers sued by the Moron known as Rakofsky. But hey, that’s the way the cookie crumbles.
There’s plenty of Solosez attorneys willing to pitch in and help y’all (imagine – a Yankee saying “y’all”..) and you’re included in that offer.
Plus, I have 2 nephews in the Army (one at Fort Bliss until his deployment to Iraq, the other at Camp Humphrey), so I’m happy to support our military.
You’ve got my e-mail – hit me up.
GAZ
I certainly appreciate your support.
I am not the amazing and inimitable J-Dog. That is actually Joel Rosenberg.
I am named in the complaint by name and by office (which is, essentially, my name).
Thank you for your support, and thank you to your nephews for their service.

It appears, sir, that you have aroused the wrath of a buffoon.
It appears there’s two people who go by the name J-Dog, who normally operate in different sub-fields, but on this case commented on the same story.
Great, now I’m confused.

The poor guy. Reading his suit it sounds like everyone (read the world) is in collusion and out to get him.
