Well thank the 700 women group for pushing for this legislation.
There are not many 'happy campers' over in SPP or wherever the grudge
posts are originating from.
I guess, I don't know what a barrister is, I thought atty at law,
barrister and lawyer , all had to pass the bar, but after passing the
bar they could call themselves atty at law, or barrister or lawyer on
their business cards and letter heads.
I don't see any listings for barristers in my yellow pages and my
Directory of California Attys. doesn't list barrister in a separate
section of that book.
If I were to look through the phone book at each ad, I would find some
but that is quite a task.
