Hearty congratulations to Texan criminal defence attorney Melissa K. DuBose - the self-styled Law Lady - for her amazingly bonkers website featuring smouldering pouts, pearls and a quite un-lawyerly amount of cleavage.

DuBose seems determined to dispense with the traditional image of frumpy lawyers, all dandruff-speckled shoulders, square toed shoes and rictus grins. Instead she's pulled out her best body con dresses, sucked in her cheeks and generally upped the glamour stakes.

All of which goes well with the Law Lady's pithy statements on her website. "There are no guarantees in life or in law and we don't attempt to make any" but this kind of hard talk is probably to be expected from a self-proclaimed "brazen straight-shooter with a passion for fighting injustice and a knack for uncovering doubt". And it can probably be taken as read that she doesn't mean self-doubt.

Some choice pictures from the site:





Texas' Law Lady surveys the skies for any approaching injustices. Her hair coiffed, her suit fuschia - she's ready to take them on.





















"What choo looking at?"




















Melissa DuBose doesn't give a fig about standing on the correct side of the escalator.






















Behind the Law Lady's come hither smile is a brazen straight-shooter, so watch it.
