Class action lawsuit

Spent a fair amount of time this morning trying to persuade my brother (a trial attorney) to take on the case of the hapless protons being flung at each other by the Hadron Collider, treated with the same callousness oft displayed toward the illegal immigrants used as so-called crash test dummies in South Florida insurance scams.

Sadly, while sensitive to their plight, my brother pointed out that he is not currently licensed to practice law in Europe. I, in my naivete, would have thought the problem of getting the particles to testify regarding the harm done to themselves and their family bonds was a far greater obstacle, which I suppose just goes to show my general ignorance of the legal system. Ah well, it looks like the protons will have to turn elsewhere for help. And in the meantime, lacking a great cause to advance, I suppose I must return to the previously scheduled holiday shopping.

*laughs* It may be that your brother simply saw the most obvious and pragmatic problem with him becoming the solicitor in this case, and the greater difficulty you pointed out sadly had to come secondary to that initial trouble. :)

You've managed to get shopping done?
