When judges get bored...

Judge Kent seems to have found fault with the presentation of the attorneys in a case he was hearing.

Bradshaw v. Unity

Pretty dry at first, but read down, it gets good. I figured the lawyers on my f-list would approve.

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] kevin_standlee for the link.

Oh, that is wonderful. Thank you; I needed the laughs. They started at ...this case involves two extremely likable lawyers, who have together delivered some of the most amateurish pleadings ever to cross the hallowed causeway into Galveston, an effort which leads the Court to surmise but one plausible explanation. Both attorneys have obviously entered into a secret pact -- complete with hats, handshakes and cryptic words -- to draft their pleadings entirely in crayon on the back sides of gravy-stained paper place mats, in the hope that the Court would be so charmed by their child-like efforts that their utter dearth of legal authorities in their briefing would go unnoticed.

*still chuckling*

That is what happens when the truly well-educated are confronted by the foolish and get to have the last word. Sheer brilliance.
