UM Law Grad Challenges Girlfriend to Naked Sword Fight?

Meet Rockledge, Florida attorney Terry Lee Locy, a UM Law grad with a self-proclaimed "intensely aggressive" style of litigation:

Terry L. Locy possesses an energetic, articulate, innovative, but most importantly, an intensely aggressive style of litigation that often leaves his opponents fuming and courtroom onlookers entertained and wanting more. In just three short years after graduation from law school, this attorney has built a thriving law practice in Central Florida with ambitions for further expansion. 

Terry is energetic alright, just ask his girlfriend:

A graduate of the University of Miami law school was arrested this week in Cocoa Beach after allegedly threatening to kill his girlfriend in a naked sword duel.

"You're going to need this," a nude Terry Lee Locy, 36, said to his live-in girlfriend as he handed her a sword, according to an arrest report from the Brevard County Sheriff's Office.

The couple had been arguing about Locy's alleged excessive drinking early Wednesday morning, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by Florida Today, when Locy took a mirror off a wall and raised it as if to strike his girlfriend.

The woman took the mirror hook from the wall and flung it at Locy, accord to the police report, causing a cut to his head.

Locy then took a shower and emerged naked to challenge his girlfriend to a duel, police say.

 See, this is an example of where Roy Black's suggestion for improving UM's legal education comes in -- if they would just spend less time on esoteric academic flights of fancy, and more time on courtroom skills and sword duels, we'd be producing not only more skilled attorneys but also better sword duelists.

BTW, I think the pre-duel shower ritual is a nice touch -- say what you want about Terry, but this is clearly a man who cares about personal hygiene.

3d DCA Watch -- On the Road Again.

 

It's pretty exciting that the 3d DCA is taking their act on the road, in concert for a special one-night-only performance at UM's beautiful Storer Auditorium.

The 3d even provided a nice map with the building clearly identified with a big orange arrow.

The event will take place February 11th, which allows just enough time to get the building 3d DCA-ready in accordance with their detailed 11-page contract rider, which specifies the usual extensive site bunkerization, lukewarm coffee, careful placement of donated antique exercise equipment into various mechanical and storage rooms, heavily bolted down restroom facilities and of course showers, lots and lots of showers.

However, because moving trucks and roadies have already begun preparations for the big show (I understand Chief Judge Ramirez has specifically requested use of the Grateful Dead's massive quadrophonic Wall of Sound PA system), the 3d unfortunately has had absolutely no time to issue any new civil opinions this week.

Sorry about that, but priorities are priorities.

Above you can see some of the details on that epic Wall of Sound system -- say what you will, but these judges are true audiophiles!
