A time for change
Update: Yes, this is an April Fool’s Day post. I’m not quitting my job.
Well folks. The time is upon us. I’ve been hinting at this for weeks now and today I can officially announce to all my readers (and some colleagues who happen to be reading as well) that I will no longer be public defending. I’ve taken a position with the general practice firm of Houlihan and Horowitz, where I will be dabbling in various fields, such as real estate, civil litigation, med mal and insurance defense.
I know, I know. Why this sudden change? Don’t you love your job, you might ask. I do. But frankly, I can’t afford to keep working as a public defender. The money was just too good to pass up, and in the end, I must be fed.
So thank you to all that have been with me for so long (and some not so long). I truly appreciate the support that you have given me and I value the exchanges we’ve had on the blog.
I don’t know if I will keep the blog going, but obviously the focus will change. I don’t know if I will be able to keep up with criminal law happenings – frankly, I don’t think I’ll have the time.
So long, then, and thanks for all the fish.

Wow.
Congratulations!
Welcome to the jungle.
Wow. Congratulations! Great for you, lousy for the Division and those of us who have worked with you. You will be missed.
P.S. – Does this mean more cookies & M&M’s???
Of course, if this is an April Fool’s joke…nevermind!
Great joke, Gideon. Just googled your new firm. Seems not to exist. Second April Fool’s joke I fell for today, and it isn’t even 9 a.m.
Dude! I didn’t think you had the balls for something like this! I had you pegged for one of those true-believer losers, slaving away in public service for the rest of his life. Way to go for the gold!
I guess now you won’t have to suck up to the “Idiot Boss” anymore? Oops! You probably didn’t want me to repeat that, right? Oh well. What’s he gonna do now that you’ve made your escape? Am I right or am I right?
Too obvious Gideon. Subtlety is the Key.
I knew it was an April Fool’s Joke.
“..I will dabbling in various fields, such as real estate, civil litigation, med mal and insurance defense.” gives it away.
Well, now that you’re getting off the public teet, I guess there’s no need for you to remain anonymous.
So, Gideon’s true identity is . . . Manuel Noriega!
Well fine. I did think it was a bit odd that criminal law wasn’t included in your “dabbling.”
At least I didn’t fall for my judge’s April Fools Joke.
Windy: You tryin’ to get me fired? Then I’ll really be out of a job
Gid,
I hope you have a fabulous time with Houlihan and Horrowitz.
I hope everyone else enjoyed you little joke.
I hope.
Why? Because hope is audacious.
Sorry, man. Got carried away.
Besides, we’re all amateur’s in light of Lammers’ switch to full-time bunny blogging.
I know! I saw that early this morning. He’s got too much time on his hands. All I did was photoshop a new banner.
The only thing missing is the rick roll
I agree. But not too many would get the reference, I think.
