Jack Thompson Faces Trial Before the Florida Bar Today
http://gamepolitics.com/2007/11/26/jack-thompson-faces-trial-before-the-florida-bar-today

Controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson faces the start of an ethics trial this morning which could see him disbarred.

The Florida Bar is pursuing several complaints concerning Thompson’s professional conduct in court cases against the video game industry.

As reported by GamePolitics, Thompson’s bid to block the trial failed last week when U.S. District Court Judge Adalberto Jordan dismissed his suit against the Florida Bar and Judge Dava Tunis, the referee appointed by the Florida Supreme Court to preside over the case.



Whoops.
:rofl:

2. Here's the Penny Arcade thread on the subject

They've hated this guy over there for years. In fact, it was people from that site and a couple other gaming sites that got the initial ball rolling on Thompson's disbarment a few years back, IIRC.
