Naomi Arbabi’s suspension ‘necessary to protect the public,’ Law Society of B.C. says.

Arbabi identified herself in the claim as “i, a woman” and said the case would be tried in the “naomi arbabi court.”

As part of her lawsuit, Arbabi said her claim was “based on law of the land, and not a complaint based on legal codes acts or statutes” and asked for compensation equal to $1,000 a day for every day the glass divider has been in place.

    I have no idea how a functioning lawyer is falling for this craziness, if she were representing me or my interests, I’d be terrified. No one wants to ask their lawyer “so, uhhh, are you going to be basing my defence on actual law or your made up laws?”

      High stress, a lack of sleep, and limited/no social interactions can break people.

      Also, if you look at her firm’s site using the wayback machine you can see that it was just 2 full lawyers; one of them was her, and the other started working on his own at some point.
      The associate lawyer appears to be mostly doing politics.

      The weirdest thing to me is that she did Solicitor work related to this scenario.
