All this doesn&#039;t  surprise me at all. Unfortunately, many Maltese lawyers have this mentality - and not just the younger ones - starting with the superiority attitude, and ending with their own personal code of ethics and behaviour (yes, I know quite a few and they&#039;re low-lifes).  

I&#039;ve  observed graduating law students soon to also be married, asking women they&#039;ve just met in bars for threesomes, others screwing anything that breathes and yet others who describe hearing the account of what a paedophile  did to 9-year-old victims &quot;interesting&quot;. 

The Malta law course always had the reputation for producing not just trashy lawyers but trashy human beings. Sadly, a few of them are..or were members of parliament (and I&#039;m  referring to both  sides of the House). The fact that this country has been run by this bunch is really, really frightening.]]></description>

Oh Daphne now you are losing focus on the essential elements of this discussion, were you maybe proven wrong? I addressed them as kids but as previously mentioned some of them are well over 60 years old so it was just a matter of general identification which has really nothing to do with the point being discussed. Truth is you lot have no idea what you are all talking about and really need to live a day in the shoes of these..fine students ha. No they did not choose their course because they have a tainted mentality and neither did the course make them so. It was the general public that put that sort of reasoning into practice and they were bold enough to identify and express it while doing NOTHING wrong. 
Or do you really not know what the job of a lawyer entails? They defend people who have been wronged AND have wronged, or have you never employed a lawyer? People need to stop marveling at the rose without acknowledging the thorns - its the world we live in just open your eyes! They were not in any way involved in the case so do not address them so. They are the ones who will be able to make a change in the future not you and do not tell me that their actions will reflect their words now because they were brought up by immoral families cause that is absolute rubbish.]]></description>

Since Joseph Muscat and Hollande have invisible - but existing - ties, I would suggest that Notaries in Malta follow what is going on in France.

The 10th December will see another strike by Notaries and Lawyers.

The strike is against La Loi Macron that would like to see the end of the Notarial profession, calling it useless.

_______

It is not yet known whether there will train strikes happening on that day.....]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[The wording of the posters is vulgar however the message is not wrong. 

All lawyers including criminal defence lawyers all over the told have as their main duty the defence of their clients within ethical standards and the law. 

Nevertheless I understand that the case of Pistorius is not adept since I believe he should have been found guilty of murder.  

Besides law students celebrating their graduation tend to go overboard in their celebrations. The real test for their professional standards is how they are going to act in their hallowed profession.]]></description>
