So Jack Thompson Walks Into a Bar...
You may not be dying to hear more about good old Jack Thompson, attorney at law, but news is a bit slow right at the end of the year, and this story should provide a bit of holiday cheer. Game Politics, which has been the gaming community's main link for accurate up to the minute Jack Thompson coverage, has just confirmed that Thompson is having a bit of a tiff with the Florida Bar Association. While Thompson has had his license to practice law in Alabama revoked, that had no bearing on his standing in his state of Florida. Now it seems that he might be getting in a bit of legal trouble back home as well.
GamePolitics has confirmed with an official of the Florida Bar Association that they have initiated a disciplinary investigation of the Miami attorney and self-described "anti-game crusader." The investigation was referred to the Florida Bar by judicial officials in Alabama, where a Circuit Court judge revoked Thompson's pro hac vice (visiting) admission to practice in November.
Thompson previously won a lawsuit he launched against the Florida Bar Association, and it's safe to assume that if the FBA does in fact take discinplinary action he will attempt to do so again.
