Solicitor struck off for smuggling cannabis
A solicitor who hid cannabis in her knickers to smuggle to a prisoner on remand was thrown out of the profession yesterday. Daniela Scotece, 32, engineered a special magistrates court hearing so she could pass on the cannabis, the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal heard, but she was caught and jailed for 15 months. Scotece, who had been qualified for four years and was working for Nottingham firm the Johnson Partnership admitted possession of cannabis with intent to supply. When the Law Society demanded an explanation she said the cannabis was for personal use. She was ordered to pay £1,092 costs.
Agency
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
