Pratte and Binnie do professional ethics!

"Ladies and Gentlemen please give a warm welcome to the comedy team of ..... 

'Pratte The Cat'

and

..... 'RoadKill!'"

Dear CyberSmokeBlog:

Yes, Pratte and Binnie with their hilarious routine, Professional Ethics. You'll laff till you cry.

I decided to have another look at the "Canadian Institute" (http://www.canadian-institute.com/english/home-e.htm) in anticipation of their bi-annual trip to Cambridge - that I presume is on for this year. The website format is noticeably unattractive. What they had when I first found it was better so I suspect this is to discourage visitors.

You can use the "Site map" to see what's there. I just spotted Pratte's name in the list of Directors which includes 6 Judges.

So I separately Googled his name and "Strasbourg" then invoked translate to English on th first link:

Theme V: Legal and judicial ethics and professional

Problem: This workshop will address two issues. La première touche la morale judiciaire: Comment s'assurer que les magistrats se conforment bien aux règles de déontologie qui les gouvernent? The first key judicial ethics: How to ensure that judges are complying with the rules of ethics that govern them? Quelles peuvent être, en cas d'abus, les mécanismes juridiques qui permettent de les sanctionner. What are, in cases of abuse, the legal mechanisms to punish them. Plusieurs modèles sont possibles. Several models are available.

La seconde porte sur une question controversée en pratique. The second focuses on a controversial issue in practice. Il s'agit des conflits d'intérêts des avocats ou des cabinets d'avocats. It is a conflict of interest lawyers or law firms. Avec la mondialisation et l'internationalisation des rapports juridiques et l'expression des grands bureaux, quelles sont les règles juridiques et éthiques qui doivent régler les conflits d'intérêts? With globalization and the internationalization of legal relations and the expression of large offices, what are the legal and ethical rules that should govern conflicts of interest?

Dear E.G.:

Thank you for contacting CyberSmokeBlog. "Laff till you cry" hell CSB laughed till it peed its pants! The Cat-RoadKill comedy team doing professional ethics is beyond hilarious. The Cat after collecting about $200,000 worth of taxpayer legal fees abruptly resigned from the Douglas Inquiry not willing to make his resignation letter public which the "transparent" Canadian Judicial Council subsequently refused to publish. So Alex Chapman's lawyer Rocco Galati was forced to file a Judicial Review with the Federal Court of Canada to try to force the CJC to release it - more public money down the toilette.

"RoadKill" recently completed a $400,000 plus study for the New Zealand government which it claims is flawed and thus useless - he's currently wearing it. The Cat-RoadKill comedy time really is funny! Having a strip poker or weddubg social? How much do you figure they'd charge to rent them for an evening E. G.?

Sincerely,
Clare L. Pieuk
