Too Many Jack McCoys - Not Enough Sonny Seilers
Law & Order's Jack McCoy never took a deposition. Can you imagine McCoy's self-important image convincing any plaintiff or defendant that he should relax and tell his story? A deposition that would normally take two hours is now destined to take all day. Instead, McCoy should take a page out of Sonny Seiler's book...

By: Attorney Jason Luczak
As citizen in the State of Wisconsin, we count on our public officials to uphold the law and keep our streets and communities safe. We also expect that these officials will follow that same law they are upholding without "cutting corners" as a means to an end.
The importance of following the proper procedures was brought to the forefront during a liquor license revocation in Racine, Wisconsin. In the case, a local police chief filed an unsworn complaint against an area night club, seeking the revocation of the establishment's liquor license. The chief's complaint, which he filed as a private citizen, suggested that the night club was in violation of state and local laws, was a "disorderly or riotous, indecent or improper house" and "created undesirable neighborhood problems."
