In these sleepy SoCal towns there's just no place for a street fightin' man.
Each American city you are lawyering in has its own pace and tone. In San Diego, for example, it's all about Being Polite. Like really, really Polite. About 90% of the trial lawyers here actually talk like Mr. Rogers. In Los Angeles, it's the opposite. Rude. Scrappy. Wonderful. In LA it's more about the client, and you know where you stand.

The Net: European Union Court sides with privacy-based "right to be forgotten" and riles everyone else.
On Tuesday, the highest court in Europe ruled that, in many cases, an EU citizen can ask a search engine to remove unwanted content on the Internet, and the search engine must comply. See, e.g., today's International Business Times. The world's reaction in the simplest terms: Privacy advocates love it, regarding it as a strike for the protection of private citizen data. Free expressionists hate it, correctly regarding the ruling as conferring a government right to censor.
