Mes m�ninges qui s'en remettent d'une rude �preuve... Je pense � � Il a pris avocat. � tout simplement pour la deuxi�me phrase sans trop me triturer la cervelle.
Et pour la premi�re, qqc comme � ...il ne serait pas en train de rechercher les services d'un avocat. � Agree?

Yes Rachel, these expressions are used in a derogatory manner, and that's why I wanted to convey the same subtle connotation in French. Je me suis débrouillée quand même. ;^) "

not an answer - from "Legal Affairs"

lawyer up. To retain counsel. The term was popularized by the fictional detectives of ABC's NYPD Blue , who lament when suspects ruin the fun of an interrogation by "lawyering up." The phrase has recently entered journalistic usage as well. Last April, John Derbyshire of National Review worried that John Walker Lindh would be difficult to prosecute because he was "well lawyered up." (Lindh eventually copped a plea.) In October, The Boston Herald called Bernard Law, the embattled leader of the Catholic archdiocese, the "lawyered-up Cardinal."
