Friday's Three Burning Legal Questions

Here are today's three burning legal questions, along with the answers provided by the blogosphere.

1. Question: I am a lawyer and, after a dispute and argument with a client, I beat him with a baseball bat. Can I keep my law license?

Answer: Sorry, but no. (The Charleston GazetteLawyer stripped of license for beating client with bat)

2. Question: I am blind. Will that prevent me from getting a California drivers license?

Answer: Nope! (UPI, Calif. DMV renews blind man's license)

3. Question: I am the father of a 1-year-old boy with a woman with whom I am no longer involved. She named the boy using her last name, but I would like him to be re-named to have my last name. Can I get a court order requiring that? 

Answer: No problem. (The Volokh Conspiracy, When Parents Disagree, Should Child Bear the Mother's Last Name or the Father's?)
