You Don’t Say..?

Burnley Crown Court heard Mahmood, who wanted to be a solicitor or barrister, claimed he forgot he was subject to the suspended sentence.
Errr....

Oh, I don't know. He's got 'Excuses 101' down pat already.

To be fair, it's easy to forget stuff, like the fact you're subject to a suspended sentence or whatever. I mean, only yesterday I forgot to buy milk :/

Standard lawyer material. A busy profession whose members, and I use the word advisedly, often forget to pay taxes or fail to think of the law when laundering clients' money.

Best of luck with the porridge degree, Mr Mahmood.
*cough*

MTG's spot on!

Being a criminal is absolutely no bar (pun intended) to membership of the legal profession:- in fact some would see it as being de rigeur.

Being a convicted criminal, however...

I recall a lawyer getting nicked without a ticket on her way to Luton. She was married to a Prime Minister.

I hear it gets worse as you get older!

"I recall a lawyer getting nicked without a ticket on her way to Luton. She was married to a Prime Minister."

Quite!

"Not going to be any good at remembering legal principle then."

Does that even still exist?
