The Jian Ghomeshi saga

[Syt]

The guy on the couch will be played by Jonah Hill.

Curly haired guy is either a damn good lawyer or the founder's son.

Damn.  I checked out his bio.  U of T Gold Medalist, clerked with the SCC Chief Justice.

I don't know if he's a "damn good lawyer", but he's not the founder's son...

The French speaking girl is damn hot!

The one in glasses?

Umm, she's fine, and I don't subscribe to "internet standards", but "damn hot" isn't the phrase I would have chosen...

Scroll right you moran. 

Ethnic chick is nice too.

This is, apparently, a picture of Ghomeshi's legal team:

Not sure why you'd stick the "apparently" in there.

The image is right their on the law firm web page:

Because someone sent the picture, asked me to guess what it was, then told me it was Ghomeshi's legal team. I had not verified it beyond hearsay, thus I stuck the "apparently" in there to reflect my level of certainty.

I can't believe I've spent so much time looking at the web page for some Ontario defence firm.

The one on the right is cute, but not french as far as I can tell.  It's the chick in glasses who is from Quebec.

If the Old Man were there by himself, you'd think he was posing for a gay lawyer magazine.

From that National Post article and the law firm's site: "Henein Hutchison LLP is one of Canada's top litigation boutique law firms."  I know what a "boutique hotel" is... but a "boutique law firm"!?

Small and independent, probably with only one office, rather than part of a large corporation with offices across the nation or even internationally.

A small specialized practice.

edit: and btw she is one of Canada's top criminal defence lawyers.  She has been appointed amicus curiae to the Supreme Court, which is no small feat.

Small law firm that specializes in a narrow area of law.  It's as opposed to a "full service" law firm that covers most kinds of law.

CC works at a boutique law firm.  Malthus on the other hand works at a national full service firm.

Jacob - not quite - you can have a small to medium sized firm that is still full service.  The law firm I worked for in northern Alberta was like that - one stop legal shopping for all your small town legal needs.

Jeez Veep, what's up with that?

Ah, I see. It's about the area of practice, not the size of the firm. Thanks for the correction.
