Ask For The Blue Box, And Then Dump The Paper This Is Written ON Into It

This lawsuit here is the kind of thing that should cause you to be disqualified from ever using the court system again and cost your lawyer his license. Specifically his law license, but if you want to take his driver’s license or dog license or any other license you can think of while you’re at …

He Died Doing What He Loved

A sad so long to Florida lawyer Ron Smith, who spent much of his legal career fighting against and ultimately helping to overturn the state’s motorcycle helmet law. He was killed recently when…do I even need to finish this sentence? Smith didn’t like being told what to do and valued his independence, said Dave Newman, …

You Hitting The Curb Means I Fixed It

There’s an old saying that goes you can’t legislate common sense. Neither, it seems, can you appoint it to the bench. Just ask the Michigan judges who ruled that a tire rotation was completed by a mechanic even though said mechanic missed the very important part of the procedure where you tighten all of the …

Universal Music’s Absolute Hosing Of Its Artists Found To Be A-Ok

Perhaps you recall the story of Universal Music Group and the great master recording vault fire of 2008. If you don’t, you can catch up here. I sort of lost track of what was happening with the case after I posted that, so here’s a better late than never update. The lawsuit mentioned did get …

So retarded that actual retarded people would look at the person who would make a decision like it and say “what are you, retarded?” A federal judge has struck down Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf’s …

Decency Don’t Live Here Anymore

There’s something ironic in the shittiest possible way about a band deciding to change its name in order to not feel quite so racist, but then finding that the new one that the members have lazily chosen already belongs to a black artist and then using their major label resources to drag her through the …

What Kind Of Justice System Threatens To Tape Shut The Mouth Of Someone So Articulate?

Meet Alan McCarty Jr., calm, levelheaded defendant. I don’t want to alarm you, but at the time this video was shot he was on trial for threatening a judge. I know. It seems impossible. Apparently all of this started over a child custody case, one that McCarty was a little confused about, if you can …

Anybody Know A Good Lawyer?

A billboard worker wound up in the hospital Tuesday morning when he tumbled off a rooftop sign in Brooklyn that happened to be touting the famed personal injury law firm Cellino & Barnes, family and officials said. David Fricker, 49, was working on the billboard around 10:28 a.m. near the corner of Church and Flatbush …
