#15 If that moron expects laughable awards, we have to believe that he doles out laughable awards. I have no confidence in his ability to act either impartially or produce objective work product. He should be sacked. |

#13 They may be only pants to all of you but they were my bread and butter. I was hoping they'd be my lucky pants. |

#12 I was going to add that I am not sure of the DC rules but up to a couple of years ago an ALJ didn't require a Law Degree here in California. |

#8 According to Overlawyered.com, the court costs are relatively minor, and do not include the defendants legal costs. Also, Judge Pearson is planning to appeal. After all, what does he have to lose (other than his dignity)? If the dry cleaner firm settles for only one percent of the $54 million, he still gets $500K. |

#7 His claim was rejected because of how he spelled "breeches of promise". [rimshot] |

#3 C'mon guys. This is comedy gold. Can't anyone build some jokes out of; "Lost his shirt" "Taken to the cleaners" "Didn't have a leg to stand on" Really - these are underhanded lobs. |
