Admission Denied

The Louisiana Supreme Court denied the application for admission by an order entered (but not available in electronic format) last Friday. Abovethelaw reported on the applicant’s troubles last year:

Philip R. Pilie, 26, of New Orleans, waspicked up Wednesday at 5:53 p.m. when he arrived at a meeting place inKenner to meet the girl, who actually was an undercover detectiveposing as a juvenile, police said.

Pilie, who used the screen namenola5671, chatted with a person he believed to be a girl, startingWednesday about 3:45 p.m., police said. He told her he wanted to meetthe girl at her home and have sex, police said.

He described thevehicle he would be driving during the chat that ended at 5:18 p.m.,police said. He was arrested when he arrived at the prearrangedlocation in the car he had described, police said.

You’d think a law school grad would know better. Guess they hadn’t reached Crim Law in Bar/Bri yet.

Pilie was booked with computer-aided solicitation forsexual purposes and attempted indecent behavior with a juvenile. He wasreleased Thursday from the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center on a$12,500 personal surety bond, police said.

So Phil Pilie is out on bail — and remains innocent until proven guilty. Maybe he’ll sit for the bar after all?

If the whole “law” thing doesn’t work out for him, though, we thinkhe has a promising career as a style columnist for a men’s magazine.Check out his impressive reflections upon designer jeans.

Who wouldn’t want fashion pointers from a guy with such fine taste in women female juveniles?

Update: From someone who knows Philip Pilie:”Apparently Philip is still planning on taking the bar Saturday. He wasalso engaged. Don’t know if it is still on or not.”
