Hi, Would you please tell me what is the meaning of is about par for and "Clients or staff?" in the following text:
"Thank you. If these cases (murders) are indeed cold, and the local cops have given up, then how in the hell are we supposed to determine that one of our judges is the killer?"
"That's the obvious question , all right. I don't have an answer."
"if you ask me, she sounds like a nut, which, I guess, is about par for the course around here."
"Client or staff?"
"Complaining parties. We don't have clients."
The text is from the book: The Judge's List by Grisham.
Thanks
