SIDEBAR: The most interesting finding from this study is that the attorneys who can no longer practice law, have a tendency to become “judges” in order to be able to remain in the legal profession.
![]() CHICAGO-(AEAE)-IN A 15 YEAR STUDY IN WHICH SEVERAL THOUSAND LAWYERS WERE STUDIED. AEAE FOUND A HIGH RATE OF MENTAL ILLNESS ALMOST THREE TIMES THAT OF A CONTROL SAMPLE. AEAE found that the attorney study group were not prone to schizophrenia, a disorder of thinking, but to manic-depression, a disorder of feeling. Manic depressives experience sharp mood swings from euphoric highs to despairing lows, which can lead to alcoholism or even suicide. A high percentage of the attorneys studied turned out to have manic depressive temperaments, a fact that may explain their attraction to the law in the first place. AEAE study reveals that mild manic highs if kept in check, can actually benefit the attorney. The study reveals that hundreds of the attorneys who fall into this category, are highly productive during their “up” phases” and able to ride through intermittent mild lows without any serious legal repercussions, sanctions, contempt and disbarment(s) . However a large number of attorneys who thrived on the creative rush of the early phase of the manic attack, soon they thrive no more; creativity turned into craziness, they can't write a brief if there life depended on it and they start shouting at the bailiffs and judges. Their engine(s) revves up too much, the practice of law becomes too intense and thoughts fly so fast that attorneys after several years in the profession no longer seem like they can connect to the law. That's why so many attorneys turn into alcoholics, end up facing the attorney registration and disciplinary commissions or face federal charges. Every once in a while you get a study that confirms people's worst fears and their intuitions. SIDEBAR: The most interesting finding from this study is that the attorneys who can no longer practice law, have a tendency to become “judges” in order to be able to remain in the legal profession.

I went into my interview with the nations most vexatious litigator at his downtown hotel watering hole Monday hoping to find a flaw in him. You know, so I could tell my female friends who swoon over him that he's an arrogant jerk, a womanizer or, at the very least, a meat head. That plan backfired. He didn't get much sleep last night because he was working on his blog devoted to expressing love.

Good God, Stoller, if you are going to post fake comments aggrandizing yourself in the most implausible ways -- such as suggesting that any woman would do anything other than call the cops if you approached her -- at least have the sense not to highlight it in blue.

Golly, Leo, tell us more about the introspection you learned after yelling "See You In Court" on your blog then getting thrown in the jail's psychiatric unit. Tell us about how Christopher pled the cuckoo defense in a last ditch attempt to avoid prison, but has been in prison ever since. If there is something wrong with taking pleasure in watching your perjuring, forging, pathologically lying, tax-money wasting, evil ass get thrown in prison-- well, don't think there is anything wrong with that. Looks like you were stupid enough to screw with people who are tired of your b.s. and want the world to know the truth about you. Nothing could be more sane than that-- enjoy prison, scumbag. And, yes, it's funny-- you don't deserve any sympathy or asides because your whole pathetic life is of your own making.

Delusional is correct. I mean the New Yorker? I believe that mental illness runs in the family. Not really a laughing matter but should be considered while reading Leo's blog and post.
