shiny judge.

i love judges when they smack down litigants for filing bad pleadings and briefs. i found a nice little passage like that in one of the sentencing cases i'm reading for moot court, barden v. keohane, 921 F.2d 476, 480 (3rd cir. 1990):

"As can be seen, the problem with this case is the common one of correctly framing the issue. Unfortunately, neither the pro se claimant nor keohane [the prison warden] have provided much help in this task. Like ships that pass unseeing in the night, the parties sail past each other's contentions. Their briefs show no disagreement on any particular point except the result."

i just saved a bunch of money

xkcd ftw:

jonathan lee riches © is alive, well, and still suing the pants off of people

just so you all know...jonathan lee riches © has not stopped filing tons of insane lawsuits...i have just stopped posting every single one of them here because i got the feeling most of my readers thought i was smoking crack.

(and, even though this is the last refuge of the persecuted crack smoker...i am NOT smoking crack, nor have i ever!)

i am still reading them religiously, though, and they still make me laugh so hard i cry. i may allude to the occasional one here...but i've moved most of my sue-perman-related commentary to the jonathan lee riches © facebook group, which you should join if you want to stay up to date on all the wacky, cracky stuff that the lawsuit king of the universe has been filing.
