Lawyer’s divorce ads get her into Playboy You may recall the mini-ruckus created last year by a Chicago law firm whose billboards featured racy images and the line, “Life’s short. Get a divorce.” In most of the media coverage of the ads, the law firm was represented by a partner there named Corri Fetman, who said the campaign was meant to be “lighthearted,” “thought-provoking” and “not boring like law firm advertising is.” It appears Fetman isn’t boring either, as she has parlayed her notoriety into a side gig as Playboy’s official “Lawyer of Love.” She’s writing a legal-advice column for Playboy.com (sample advice: “Anyone who gets married without a prenuptial agreement is a tool”). And yes, she has taken her clothes off for a pictorial. Can your lawyer say that? —Posted by Tim Nudd

I guess she's legally blonde, indeed.

Not if she's posing in Playboy, they show everything.

Tacky. Some things are straitlaced for a reason. I wouldn't come to her for purposes of litigation, and if I were sitting on a bench, I wouldn't take her seriously. Unprofessional.

Riss, if you're sitting on the bench, you have to listen to her arguments. You can't judge a lawyer for what she does outside the courtroom.

Many divorce lawyers...come on... The most ruthful ad would be:one that shows a man and a wife completely fraggled and aged or weight gained, with the caption:

Divorce takes long, and lawyers make the mo$t out of it.

truthful.

there is no word ruthfull, but if there was would it mean the opposite of ruthless?

oh yes, and Most is a foreign word describing the product in one step of processing of wine.

it's also a word for bridge in czech and a name of a city there, too.

in case anybody finds the use of those four letters in my fake ad sentnce inappropriate or unethical.
