While
the
precise
phrase
is
that
the
lawyer
representing
themself
has
a
fool
for
a
client,
the
lawyer
representing
another
lawyer
is
still
very
likely
representing
a
fool.
Consider
Rudy
Giuliani’s
attorney
Kenneth
Caruso.
The
former
NYC
mayor
cum
raving
loon
was
ordered
to
turn
over
his
apartment
to
satisfy
the
defamation
judgment
against
him
for
defaming
a
pair
of
Atlanta
poll
workers
and
subjecting
them
to
the
fury
of
Trump’s
most
unhinged
loyalists.
When
the
judgment
creditors
arrived
at
the
apartment,
they
found
it
stripped
of
all
the
property
that
is
now,
legally,
theirs.
This
did
not
sit
well
with
Judge
Lewis
Liman
(full
disclosure:
my
old
boss),
who
ordered
Rudy
to
appear
in
court
to
explain
why
he
thought
he
could
play
games
with
court
orders.
And
then
this
happened:
Nothing
endears
a
defendant
to
the
court
more
than
abject
defiance!
As
noted
above,
Giuliani’s
counsel
quickly
protected
his
client
before
Rudy’s
answer
veered
into
more
defamation
—
which
would
not
have
been
the
first
time
—
proving
the
value
of
outside
counsel.
My
bet
is
next
time
Rudy
will
be
counseled
to
not
take
questions.
