The Florida Bar has done it again!
The Board of Legal Specialization has "redesigned" the logo so that the public will have little chance of understanding what the logo represents.
The new "exciting" design can be viewed here.
I hope the Bar will tell us why the words THE FLORIDA BAR are on top in a larger font, while the words BOARD CERTIFIED appear underneath the logo in a smaller font.
As to the design of the logo itself, your guess is as good as mine!
Is it a seagull flying under a wishbone?
Is it a book on fire?
Is it a crab-claw digging through a valley?
How ironic that the Florida Bar punishes lawyers for any type of advertising that could possibly be deemed deceptive, yet they ask the very best lawyers in the State of Florida to utilize a logo that will baffle the public.
For me, I'll just use the old logo. People could at least tell something about the scales of justice.

Prejudice Can Appear in Many Forms
Prejudice can appear in many forms, but how heart-breaking to read about the vicious beating of a Mexican by three white youths in Pennsylvania. I imagine it must take a person with a very low self esteem to nurture the hate involved in this alleged crime.
The sad details can be viewed here.
I am reminded that the national networks help foment this hatred with xenophobes like Lou Dobbs and Bill O'Reily. These pundits continually confuse undocumented status with criminal acts. "We cannot reward these criminals who illegally enter our nation without permission!" Of course undocumented status is not a crime, but it doesn't stop Lou Dobbs from trying his best to confuse the listening public.
My heart goes out to the families of this immigrant, and to the families of the young men who will now most likely lose their liberty and the opportunity for a bright future.
All in the name of hatred.
Let us not forget we are a nation of immigrants. Mexicans, Canadians, Filipinos, Indians, British, Chinese or Egyptian. All of us are brothers and need to embrace our extended family.
