Roman J. Israel, Esq.

"Case #00-00001: Supreme Court of Absolute Universal Law, Los Angeles Division. Roman J. Israel, Esq., petitioner, versus himself, defendant. Notice: To permanently disbar Roman J. Israel, Esq. from the California Bar and Human Race for being a hypocrite and turning his back on everything he ever claimed to actually stand for. Statement of the case: For 26 years, defendant/plaintiff has been employed in the Law Office of William Henry Jackson, a two-person, criminal defense firm in the city of Los Angeles. During that time, defendant/plaintiff's duties centered on drafting briefs, motions and pleadings, thereby allowing principal partner William Henry Jackson to focus his attention on court appearances. This work relationship was disrupted three weeks ago, initiating a chain of events leading to the gross moral, ethical and criminal misconduct of Roman J. Israel, Esq. and forming the basis for the above-mentioned request for immediate and summary judgment."

Hello? Yeah. Yeah, of course I remember you. That's why I gave you my card.

The real enemies aren't the ones on the outside, they're on the inside.

Roman J. Israel, Esq.

You know, all those years of practicing, scouring law books, achieving technical triumphs through loopholes and ambiguities, none of which were adequate to save me from the reality of my present situation. Then today, in the middle of nowhere, lost, I had a revelation; an insight so sweeping, so clear. It's me George. See, I didn't see it before because I never experienced the other side. I'm the defendant and the plaintiff simultaneously. I file against myself, I represent myself, I convict myself, hereby expanding the full scope of the legal desert, because the judgment's built in. The only thing left is forgiveness and I grant that to myself. An act doesn't make the person guilty unless the mind is guilty as well.
