It's the economy, stupid. The rotten economy in Obama's America has really hit all sectors and parts of society. Virtually no one has gone unaffected. The legal industry is no exception.Jobs are hard to come by for lawyers these days. Scores of new law school graduates can't find a job and in some instances have been forced to take such jobs as flipping burgers and bagging groceries just to make ends meet.
But even in the most dire of economic times, it's still possible to take things a bit too far. Case in point: You mean to tell me that things are so bad, apparently, that law school grads have had to resort to the world's oldest profession just to make a buck (allegedly)?!
A Working Girl in More Ways Than One (Allegedly)
Cops in Illinois have charged 25-year-old lawyer hottie Reema Bajaj (pictured above with the great rack) with going on some ho strolls -- one allegedly involving "offering to perform a sex act on a man for $50."
[Who says lawyers charge outrageous hourly rates? 50 bucks is a bona fide steal for this dame! I'd think that a lot of dudes would even buck up a retainer at that rate. Although truth be told, I can't even begin to imagine a law girl as a hooker ("OBJECTION, john! No glove, no love!"). And what was her pickup line, anyway? "Gimme 50 and I've give you your day in court"? Or maybe, "my closing arguments always come with a happy ending, sugar"? Regardless...]
Described as a "high-flying attorney," the bosomy barrister beauty babe Bajaj (she even looks good in her mugshot) is accused of multiple hookin' offenses, including meeting up with a potential client (of the john, not legal, variety) within 1000 feet of a school in August of last year (after Bajaj had graduated from law school and was waiting to get her law license).
Cops "linked Bajaj to prostitution after discovering emails between her and a man." (I just hope Anthony's Weiner doesn't insert his notorious unit into this crummy equation somewhere).
Bajaj has pleaded not guilty and her public response has been a rather cryptic statement on her website: "I am probably one of the few attorneys who knows what it feels like to be accused and in need of help. This action will only make me stronger and better able to understand what my clients are going through."
Near the Schoolhouse May Mean Hard Time in the Ice House
And Bajaj may really be in need of some good "help," given what she's facing. The legendary Fonzie once imparted the following jailhouse wisdom on the old-school TV show Happy Days (Season 2, "The Cunningham Caper"): "He who robs with gun in hand, gets twenty to life, in the can." Similar principle here:
She who hoes close to a schooler, gets a felony rap and possible time in the cooler. Yep, being within 1000 feet of a school (allegedly) makes one of the charges against Bajaj a felony in Illinois.
That means the only gavel this accused call girl lawyer may be swinging in the near future may be on a lady chain gang up river at the Menard hoosegow. So forget buying a little time with that motion for recess -- this broad better ask Judge Munster for a damn dismissal.
