I wonder what percentage of law school faculty are members of the bar?

A follow-up on the crazy situation where the woman was stuck with her boyfriend’s tickets.

As can be seen here, the City of Chicago is acting horribly and illegally. If someone steals my tags and racks up thousands in fines, I am not liable, and any efforts on the part of the government to collect (once it knows the facts) should be vigorously prosecuted and people need to go to jail. Lawyers who participate in these schemes need to lose their licenses.

After all, the rehab act of 73 as amended is applicable. And submitting a request for accommodation via a representative is kosher, or at least within the rules for ra requests.
I still would prefer that they be able to show that they made extensive good faith efforts to get things fixed rather than trying to continue litigation settlements as a profession.

The slack fill issue is absurd. While there may be some puffery involved, anyone with two eyes can figure it out. The issue for food sellers is that you need packaging large enough to get noticed on the shelf. For chips, the inflated bags keep the chips from getting crushed.
