Although I had not thought of her in almost two decades, when I learned of the risque billboard my immediate reaction was "nothing changes." Fetman's persona at the law school was that of a spoiled "princess." Although she was a capable student, she probably spent as much if not more time preening and choosing her clothes and jewelry than she did studying her casebooks. She was like a forerunner of Paris Hilton (through the wonders of beauticians and cosmetic surgery it appears that she also wants to become Paris Hilton -- she is now almost unrecognizable to people who attended college with her).<BR/><BR/>Apparently, she learned legal ethics from watching Callista Flockhart on episodes of "Ally McBeal." The question is whether or not she should be sanctioned by the Illinois Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Committee for her calculated decision to bring the legal profession into disrepute for the sake of shameless publicity. <BR/> <BR/>Her "personal trainer" remark was hilarious. Isn't it laughable, that so many of the people who boast about their hours spent in the gym at the health club always look to have spent considerable sums on cosmetic surgery? Fetman looks as if she has undergone an extreme makeover of her own, but she is fooling no one. What a total narcissist.<BR/> <BR/>The individual photos of Fetman on her legal web site look like something from an adult escort service. In one pose, the bleach blonde and tanned Fetman appears to be sucking on her glasses after forgetting to button her blouse. <BR/><BR/>Thankfully, in one of his last official actions, outgoing Chicago Alderman Burton Natarus (42nd Ward) had the offensive billboard removed because Fetman failed to obtain a proper sign permit. <BR/> <BR/>If there is a plus to this sordid mess, it may be an opportunity to review how wrong the US Supreme Court was in its decision to permit lawyers to advertise their services using methods which previously prohibited for decades as being disreputable and injurious to the profession. The liberalization of the rules on legal advertising were premised on Free Speech grounds.<BR/><BR/>As for the gay divorcee, it may interest readers to know that Fetman's own dissolution of marriage took almost four full years and featured numerous changes of attorneys. Thankfully, no children were involved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
