This is the Jurist Primeval

I have not maintained a membership in the Los Angeles County Bar Association for a decade or so, but I remain on some of the Association's email distribution lists.  This morning, I received notice of an upcoming seminar revisiting -- oh, when will our generation just let it go? -- the Kennedy assassination and the Warren Commission report. 

The session is being sponsored by, and my name has apparently been added specifically to the distribution list of, the Association's Senior Lawyers Section  -- of which I have never been a member, although on review of the Section by-laws I find that I satisfy one, and only one, of its membership qualifications, being as I am "either (a) over the age of fifty-five (55) or (b) [have] been admitted to practice for twenty-five (25) years or more." 

Being slotted in as a "senior lawyer" is, frankly, somewhat irritating, though not so annoying as the constant stream of mailings these past few years urging me to join AARP.  Sorry, folks: I like to burden future generations as much as the next fellow, but I am no Retired Person, and I do not expect to be so for quite a while yet.  Begone!  Get thee behind me, discounts!

But I digress.  What I actually intended to remark on is this:

If the Senior Lawyers Section really wants to attract new members, it should perhaps consider redesigning its Official Seal which, in the interest of letting it serve as punctuation and punchline, I have hidden away below the fold.  Click through and see!

I rest my case.

Hi, George. You'll always be a young whipper-snapper to me, but I'm afraid that sense of humor of yours might be past its warranty period. The Official Seal of the L.A. County Bar's Senior Lawyers Section is a hoot and a half. It is far preferable to the botox-using, hair-dyed, tummy-tucked image that we East-Coasters have of LaLa Lawyers.
