  State Bar of CA :: Ronald E. Lais
Lais wrote a letter informing the client that the suit had been filed, describing the $10,000 as "basically a non-refundable deposit toward attorney fees," and indicated that any refund would belong to the client's friend who had paid the money.
Lais' associate asked the client to cooperate in order to avoid sanctions and prejudice to his case, and sent a substitution of attorney form which the client did not sign.
Lais also induced another client to withdraw a disciplinary complaint in a fourth matter, and he improperly deposited client funds in a general account rather than a client trust account.

 Ex-Lawyer Faces Sentencing for Unauthorized Practice
Froberg rejected Lais’ contention that his involvement in child custody and other family law matters does not constitute the practice of law, since he was merely assisting and advising other lawyers.

While non-citizens of that country normally cannot get licenses, Lais said, he was able to do so in 1999 through the aid of a politically connected individual whom he had assisted in a custody matter.

 Marie de France: Lais
For various reasons, it's thought that her twelve Lais date from around 1170, that their author was a woman named Marie who also wrote a rhymed collection of Aesop's Fables (or rather of an expanded medieval version of these fables) and one longer poem tralsted from Latin, the Purgatory of St. Patrick.
The twelve Lais and their prologue, along with a copy of the Fables, are preserved in a mid-13th century manuscript (BN MS Harley 978), and various lais also appear in other manuscripts.
Among the translations of the Lais available are the vaguely free-verse one by Joan Ferrante and Robert Hanning (Durham, N. C.: Labyrinth Press, 1982), a prose translation by Glyn Burgess and Keith Busby (Newy York: Viking Penguin, 1986), and a verse translation of five of the lais and some other short romances by Patricia A.

The earliest written Breton lais were composed in a variety of Old French dialects, and some half dozen lais are known to have been composed in Middle English in the 13th and 14th centuries by various English authors.

 Breton Lais
Non-religious narratives like Breton lais had fewer checks on their evolution by these means, and because they were not usually known as the works of a named author, their anonymity gave tellers and scribes implicit authority to alter them to better serve new audiences..
For interpreters of the less highly crafted works like the Breton lais, the seeming "flaws" like flaws in their plot motivation or lack of overt authorial control can become advantages when read as evidence of the tale's place in a process of "mouvance" from one state to another.
Breton lais poets as authors--Clearly the lais' narrators differ from Chaucers narrators in the ways they manage their relationships with their audiences.

 THE LAIS OF MARIE DE FRANCE - Marie de France - Penguin UK
late twelfth century) is the earliest known French woman poet and her lais – stories in verse based on Breton tales of chivalry and romance – are among the finest of the genre.
Recounting the trials and tribulations of lovers, the lais inhabit a powerfully realized world where very real human protagonists act out their lives against fairy-tale elements of magical beings, potions and beasts.
Throughout, Marie de France takes a subtle and complex view of courtly love, whether telling the story of the knight who betrays his fairy mistress, or describing the noblewoman who embroiders her sad tale on a shroud for a nightingale killed by a jealous and suspicious husband.

That lais were Breton is important, because during the fifth and sixth centuries, British storytellers fleeing from the Saxon expansion through Britain settled in Brittany, and brought with them tales from their homeland.

 Countless My Lais in Iraq - by Dahr Jamail
Focus on U.S. Marines slaughtering at least 20 civilians in Haditha last November is reminiscent of the media spasm around the "scandal" of Abu Ghraib during April and May 2004.
Then there is the daily reality of sectarian and ethnic cleansing in Iraq, which is being carried out by U.S.-backed Iraqi "security" forces.
There have been countless My Lai massacres, and we cannot blame 0.1 percent of the soldiers on the ground in Iraq for killing as many as a quarter of a million Iraqis, when the policies of the Bush administration generated the failed occupation to begin with.
