RollOnFriday will shortly launch a Christmas appeal for homeless charity St Mungo's. And YOU get to choose who has caused the greatest damage to the profession over the last year and should therefore have the honour of unwittingly fronting the campaign.

RollOnFriday has reduced a large and varied field to three finalists. Cast your vote, and the winner will head up our appeal and be the butt of some gentle ribbing over the coming weeks as we encourage the profession to give generously. And seeing that it's Christmas, RollOnFriday will even dig into its own pocket to reward the successful candidate.

Joe Egan, The President of the Law Society

Egan, the man who is the face of the profession to the rest of world, is a bit of a charity case himself. He has done such a sterling job of running his own firm that he was unable to pay himself anything two years ago and is currently making his trainees get by on less than his own recommended minimum wage. Select him as the posterboy of our campaign and RollOnFriday will spot him £5:09. Enough for a Big Mac Meal at the Fleet St branch of McDonalds which will provide him with sufficient energy to prevent him from making off colour remarks to female TV presenters.

    Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat, please put a penny in the poor President's hat

William Boss, Rob Day and Stephen Kon

Boss, Day and Kon oversaw the collapse of what was once SJ Berwin. When they realised that the writing was on the wall they ran off to Addleshaws, Proskauer and Macfarlanes on huge pay packets and left hundreds of staff jobless and in penury.

    Time for a sharp exit

After such egregiously poor behaviour surely the trio must be front runners to head the campaign and gain a little redemption. Vote for them, and RollOnFriday will send them a cheque for £18. That should be enough to pay for the taxi that Boss so desperately needs to get him from his office to the firm’s outreach centre in Stockwell and save him the embarrassment of public transport and the chance of bumping into his former colleagues who are now selling the Big Issue or fighting with pigeons over scraps of food.

Liz Truss

The profession had great hopes when the first female Lord Chancellor in the 1,000 year history of the role was appointed. Sadly they dissipated as quickly as a fart in a zephyr.

When the Daily Mail launched a homophobic, anti-Semitic attack on some Court of Appeal judges Truss cravenly hid under her bed and refused to criticise the paper for fear of offending its swivel-eyed readers. The judiciary was up in arms. The Lord Chief Justice said that she was “constitutionally, absolutely wrong” and that litigants were telling judges that they were “enemies of the people”. A few months later she was moved to Chief Secretary to the Treasury.

Vote for Truss, and she'll be declaring in the register of members' interests a donation of 48p - the cost of a housebrick for her to lob through the window of a senior member of the judiciary.

  "We import two-thirds of our cheese; that is a disgrace."

Cast your vote here. The winner will be announced next week.

Hmm that doesn't happen to be Joe Egan father of Damien Egan of Lewisham who is forceably trying to sell land leased to Millwall Football Club to a shady BVI based developer with no building experience but a CEO who also worked for the Council that he now oversees? The family can't avoid scandal it seems.
