Would anyone be shocked to see a wrongful termination or discrimination suit in the future?

WASHINGTON (AP) - A former judge who lost a $54 million lawsuit against a dry cleaners over a missing pair of pants is suing to get his job back and at least $1 million in damages.

What's the difference between a dead skunk and a dead lawyer on the highway?
The skid marks in front of the skunk.

Legally Speaking: There's No Cure for Stupid
9/10/2008 8:30 PM
By John G. Browning
I marvel sometimes at the human capacity for stupidity, or perhaps more accurately, to put one's stupidity on display for all to see by invoking the protection of the legal system.

Few good ones in that column. My favourite is the Senator trying to sue God....the judge has yet to rule on it....

3697 too many
Have one prosecutor, one defence attorney, and one to do everything "non-criminal" like real estate and wills. Criminal cases would be done in an hour, using truth serum on the accused.
And the "everything" lawyer just needs 3000 assistants.
I don't know about the prosecutor, but we can keep Allan Fay for criminal defence and Troutman for "everything else".
Hey, any plan to get rid of lawyers can't be a bad one.

I thought it was Jackie Chiles that gave lawyers a bad name.

Just reading in that article how the dry cleaners have had to sell their business over all of this; which is really sad. Here you have your sterotypical immigrants who came to America to "live the American dream." They set up a business, hired staff, and generally made a positive contribution to society.
I hope once this is over they get awarded damages that they have sufferred, but IIRC in the American system unlike ours, it isn't automatic that the damages can be awarded to a defendant who is wrongfully accused.

This guy seems bound and determined to get in front of the supreme court and make his permanent historical mark in a legal profession thats he's really no longer welcome in.
For frivilous cases like this, the Dry Cleaning familiy really needs to sue for legal fees or something, he's going to bankrupt them, I mean he's already destroyed their livelyhood.
If I ever open my own business, the mission statement is going to be
Satisfaction guaranteed . . . . . my satisfaction that is.

If people behaved themselves, and kept their promises, we wouldn't need lawyers.

Or if everyone was allowed to carry a gun, and the legal defense was the proof that he needed killin.
