Leegal Journalism Jargon
By: The Old Man 20/12/2005
Journalism is like a great wife, who has gone deaf on you. You cannot live with them nor without them till death do you part…smile…Being a lawyer gives many people a close up view of the underside of the typical man and woman in our streets. Unfortunately, being a lawyer and or a barrister or a QC, can be misleading and troublesome. It is not always what it is cracked up to be. Nor is it popular in our main stream of life. We forget that our men and women in our legal profession are just that. They are men and women, with all kinds of bias’ and all kinds of personal quirks, which if not controlled can lead to misrepresentation of the rules of the law in all of its manifestations. Try telling a chook how to cross the road, whether or not there is little or a lot of traffic on the road, and it will completely ignore you and go its own way, because it is made that way, to find its own way now matter what the results they want to achieve are, compared as to what they might end up being. Try telling a jury of your peers that this man or woman really deserves the death penalty, when our laws limit the type of prison term and punishments they are allowed to have, when comparing it to the national budget that goes into providing for such criminals for a life time, for the remainder of their life time, and our public money, when in fact their crimes are so horrible that they actually deserve the death penalty.
Journalism like our ‘leegal beegals’, has much the same goals and out comes, and taking much for granted a ‘leegla beegal’ often times is misunderstood by most of his and her peers, because of the lack of continuity of their professional work and social life to work ethic. Not many of them want to associate with each other outside of their normal working hours, what ever that might mean to any of us…as they seem to be married to their work. It might be better for a wife or husband of such as these keen eyed moralistic jurisprudent seekers and justifiers, to record some of their night time/sleep time conversations they have with themselves to them the next day, or send it in as an editorial for the next printed edition of their local legal newsmagazine. Anyway you look at it legal eagles and journalists, are article writers and defenders of our human rights most of the time.
Each might say of the other, that “both of us know very little about the truth of anything, and its alright to admit it to ourselves. Our job is to report it and to defend it and record it.” To many of us who are not too interested in their life styles and ways in and out of the court room, we ought to be able to say ‘it was a great day for mankind, when journalism married up with legalism. To those who are in the profession and successfully married up together, they are often heard to comment “It was a great blow to society, but who cares, some marriages were meant to work well together and some not, and we are listed in the top nine percent of those which are.” An old joke between themselves which may need to be aired once more for good old times sake is - What do you get when you marry a journalist with a legalist “unqualified legalists”…smile….When have you seen a leegal beegal without his main stream journo being on the phone with him, in case of an emergency, in his busy schedule? It is impossible to separate the two, for their love of each other is well known amongst their peers. In fact the often cryptic comment can be heard from either of their lips is – Why would any solicitor go into a court room without first meeting with relationship partner or not be on the phone to them. That such a thing would not be done, would be paramount to a national crime in any ones marital books of do’s and dont’s …We of the viewing public to their wonderful lives would like to ask them or any one else who makes the claim of being a public defender…Can any publick defender or defendant or advocate, make any promises without first making sure his journal spouse and publicist has been contacted for advice and the legal angles being taken into consideration? Of Course Not!!!....smile…What kind of fool would such a man or woman be, to go against such traditions in a such a marriage as this? No, No, No, don’t answer that….smile….There are some crimes that a marriage of this kind, in which, one would simply not do. Caalll mee slow, or simple but never foolish and stupid. I know my rights and my writes and my rites, and if you want to argue then caalll my marital advocate hot line number on 00,00,007 any time, for a quick fix and shot in the dark. Just leave your name and address and phone number, age and gender after the beep and a reply will be given with 24 houres, anywhere in Australia, and within 36houres anywhere in the world. Or pray to God and read His Bible for better directions on how to handle disputations between disagreeing factions, so as to count the cost before one enters into the fray…..smile…..I love you tooo. Courts adjourned.
in faith, The Old Man.
