Racket Law - new legal resource or just subliminal thinking?

Amusing story that happened during work. I was looking at notes taken by our client intake team handling calls from people looking for legal assistance.

In one of the notes I see that the potential client had a legal form agreement signed by their spouse that was obtained from "Racket Law."

Considering the nature and reputation of the legal industry, I found this entry particularly amusing. Our clerk doesn't apparently know about a website that might be what the person was referring to as the source for the legal form. But in her mind, it came from the Racket Law, or perhaps the Racket Law Group, which some may say is a generic term for a plaintiff's law firm! :D
 
That's funny.

It's a common way of disparaging someone or somethng that we don't approve of. Although in your clerk's case it was probably unintentional.

Obama's administration was often referred to as an Obamanation. (Abomination.)

Oddly, Professor, my daughter manages the daily operation of the law firm I founded.

She recently called me about "Racket Law". Our deliberation and collaboration lead us believe it was a typo for an established, legitimate firm, "Rocket Lawyer".



It might even refer to:

Humans still amaze, mystifying, and bemuse me with increased rapidity.

I read the mention or notation of the term "Obama Nation" as a fondness, approval, second liner" or endorser of Obama's Presidency. I was never a fan or "second liner" of Obama and/or those in his orbit.


New Orleans Second Line History

Buck-jumping for joy

A brass band blares. A hand-decorated parasol twirls. A ragtag group behind the band waves handkerchiefs to the beat of the drum, while a grand marshal in a snazzy suit and jaunty hat leads the way – out-dancing, out buck-jumping them all as he waves his feathered fan. Lucky you. You've just stumbled across a New Orleans second line. Everyone is welcome to join in and many do. This is the "joie de vivre" everyone talks about in New Orleans. This feeling of pure happiness that swells up in your chest. This is what makes this city so different from anywhere else on Earth.

What is the history of the Second Line?

Second lining has been called "the quintessential New Orleans art form – a jazz funeral without a body." Historically, the African-American community began second lines as neighborhood celebrations. The neighborhood organizations offered social aid to freed slaves, such as loans and insurance, and used the second-lines as a form of advertising. Second lines were also used to honor members who died in their community, which launched the idea of second lines at funerals. Often, Mardi Gras Indians were and still are included in the procession.
