Sidebar: You're So Vain

I am so proud to be a member of the Clark County legal community today! We have come together FOR ONCE to decide on the applicability of numerous curse words. I applaud you for your spirit and sense of togetherness.

Today's post brought back some other misty water-colored mem'ries. Did you see that Mr. Agwara has a fancy vanity tag that says LIBOLAW? It made me remember when I was driving to work a couple of years ago and I heard the most ridiculous thing on the radio. Dara Goldsmith, former president of the CCBA and a member of State Bar of Nevada Board of Governors, had a vanity tag that said CANE, a reference to the University of Miami, and the DMV decided it was a drug reference. From that day forward, I took a much closer look at the vanity tags of my colleagues.

Because of LIBOLAW, I can no longer sit in silence with this obsession. Please tell me about the most ridiculous vanity tags you've seen. If they are legal, swell. Honestly, I don't care.

Since we've been so creative today, I also invite you to take this opportunity to create your dream vanity tag in the comments.

Michael amador used to have "guilty" on his license plate, which was cool when he was a prosecutor, but not when your a defense attorney.

It has been a few months since I saw this car in our office park in LV. Checked with the DMV and the plate is now available.

I see a girl daily with the license plate "SPRCUTE" and it is false advertisement.

This would be appropriate for most of WWL's posters. And a generally accurate description of most people in the legal field (including law students).

This is for all the legal secretaries and paralegals who feel this way about their attorneys. :)

SMRTRTHNU, IH8DAS, and TORTFSOR are cool. I always wanted something like "CRIMPAYZ" until I became a prosecutor instead of a defense attorney as I'd planned. (That, and I couldn't get it to make sense in 7 letters.) I've also wanted "SUVSUK" but only if I had a nicer car!

I want IMSMUG because I drive a hybrid. It's available, but I'm afraid I'll get rear-ended daily by an asshat in a big car who can't see me or just hates hybrids or by someone else who doesn't get the joke.

Is it possible to get more than 7 letters/numbers on a license plate?

Best nonlegal ones I've seen = "WAS HIS" and "NOTACAB"

You can't get more than seven letters unless it is imaginary.

I've seen MEDIATE in the Litigation Services parking lot (on a nice Mercedes, if I remember correctly). Not sure which of the mediators it belongs to, but my bet is Floyd Hale.

It's a math one, not legal, but still cheesy.

@3:06 - That isn't cheese, it's brilliance.

Can anyone take on the challenge of making vanity tags for some of our legal legends? Is there one for the Medical Mafia? How about our old friend Kutner? Perhaps for a judge...

I would like one that says:
I[HEART]DELANEE (They let you use hearts in California, so I am pretending we are allowed here.)

Years ago I had client that was completely just pissed off at the world. She pulled up one day to my office in her beat up Cady and I swear to you that her State of NV issued license plate was "FUJACKO". Any ideas on how she would have ever got that issued?

Who the hell is Mr. Power? He wears wild jackets and he looks crazy as hell. But his car costs about 20x as much as mine. Another Vegas enigma.

I have no idea who MRPOWER. I hope his last name is Powers or else he has a huge ego

Anonymous said...

Okay so I just saw the worst vanity plate on this guy's car:

INFECTED But he spelt it funny to make it 7 words. Why the hell would you want people to think you are infected??

SEXYLAW was parked on 3rd within the past hour or so. Unsurprisingly, she was not sexy.

My guess is that Mr. Power is Herb Michel from "Your Legal Power," prepaid legal services.

Bucky's associate has something I can't remember that worked out to "Case Dismissed". CSDZMSD or something like that.
