Jack Thompson's Past Legal Failures Resurrected

Yesterday we discussed Jack Thompson's upcoming legal hearing. Brian Crecente, over at Kotaku, has put up some documents related to (surprise, surprise) past run-ins Jack has had with the Florida Bar. The two (closed) cases dealt with past games-related cases the lawyer has tried to 'help' with, one being the much-discussed Alabama trial, and the other the Ohio trial that Thompson tried to interfere with. Also included are all 40 pages of the most recent scrape that has Thompson in front of the Bar again.

"Jack Thompson is overly opinionated, overly impressed with himself, and doesn't know when to STFU."

So in other words he's a lawyer with dreams of becoming a politician?

However, he doesn't have the actual mindset to get there. Ie - he actually forms an opinion and expresses it, rather than sitting on the fencepost in titanium underwear.

Missing Option!

Jack will mentor and train a young law student who will take his place as Dark Lord of the Sith. Thus the circle will now be complete, Jack was once the learner, but is now the master.

... but when I heard that Mr. Jack was in legal trouble my heart began to glow.

I'd have that checked if I were you...

I wonder what his Slashdot UID is.
