The response has been overwhelming.  Defense lawyers everywhere are sitting on the edge of their seat.  Brother pitted against brother.  Sister against sister.  Who will win?  Do Texans really dress funny? 

Before revealing the outcome, please bear in mind that this has all been tongue in cheek and should not be taken seriously by anyone.  Some defense lawyers take themselves way too seriously, and have some inexplicable difficulty with a little tongue in cheek pretend competition.  So enjoy the results, and if you can’t, have beer and some Texas barbeque this weekend and chill out.  I want to add that I would be honored to sit at the defense table with Mark Bennett, any time and anywhere.  (Of course, I’d be the lawyer…)

And now, the results:

Where would you rather practice criminal defense?

Selection   Votes New York  38% 32 Texas  25% 21 Anywhere but Texas  12% 10 Could I practice in Texas but live in NY?  1% 1 Would I have to dress funny if I practiced in Texas?  24% 20 84 votes total

Conclusively proving…absolutely nothing.  Thanks to all for participating and I hope that you will take a few minutes to read the real stuff on this blog.
