  1. In court the p.o. says, "she gets away with things because she's cute, smart and has a great personality" - why is she discussing my dog?
  2. 'Round here it's Passive-Aggressipalooza
  3. In court: taking catnip to school - probably excusable; getting other kids to smoke it by telling them that it's marijuana - probably not
  4. In court, probation officer compares the workings of a teenager's mind to a fan with a frayed and taped-up power cord

  14. I just got two kites mailed from detention by two different new clients, addressed not to my name, but to "The Big Guy."'
  15. In court, a probation violation for an HS student who (among other things) "sang inappropriate songs." Set list not provided, sadly.
  16. In court for a client's probation violation, not sure if "get off your ass" is a legally enforceable order.

  18. ABA Journal: Blogging Assistant PD Accused of Revealing Secrets of Little-Disguised Clients http://bit.ly/4sY2IL
  19. Teenage male client plus big ol' Playboy Bunny belt buckle does not equal impressed female judge
