Fort Lauderdale, Fla., plaintiffs lawyers John Pape and Marc Chandler were publicly reprimanded Friday by The Florida Bar for violating Florida Supreme Court lawyer advertising rules. The Chandler & Pape commercial features the image of a pit bull wearing a spiked collar and the phone number 1-800-PIT-BULL. The Bar found that the ads were not "objectively relevant" and were "deceptive, misleading or manipulative." But the reprimand comes at a time of sharp debate and possible changes in the rules.

Fort Lauderdale, Fla., plaintiffs lawyers John Robert Pape and Marc Andrew Chandler were silently escorted between two long rows of tables in a ballroom at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables. They were surrounded by the more than three dozen members of The Florida Bar board of governors.
The partners at Chandler & Pape, famous for their television commercials featuring an image of a pit bull, stopped just a few feet short of the lectern. Both crossed their hands in front of them.
