Trinidad & Tobago:
In light of the overwhelming response in the comment thread below in favor of eclectic posts, I'm inspired to post this odd one for any readers in Trinidad & Tobago.
An old friend of mine contacted me recently to ask what it was like to defend police officers against bribery charges in Trinidad. He provided a link to this story from the Trinidad & Tobago Express, which indeed says that "Orin Kerr" is on the defense team of a bribery case there:

State attorneys George Busby and Nirana Parsan are prosecuting while attorneys Mario Merritt and Orin Kerr are defending the accused.I've never heard of this case, or been to Trinidad. So I wonder, is there another criminal lawyer named Orin Kerr who happens to practice in Trinidad? Possible, but it seems somewhat unlikely. Does anyone have any insight into the story? I hope our readers have better things to do with their time than ponder this random and useless question, but in case anyone knows, I'm a little curious. (FWIW, I googled the reporter to try to find an e-mail address but came up empty; I e-mailed the newspaper last week but did not receive a response; and lots of googling has confirmed that other lawyers mentioned have had other cases in Trinidad, but not "orin kerr".)
