More legal humor

Thanks to The Heart for pointing me to "Say What?!", and to TexasBar (Judge Buchmeyer) for his amusing legal anecdotes, including the following:


In a one-sentence order in a frivilous wrongful termination suit (after the plaintiff had lost a jury trial), U.S. District Judge Barbara K. Hackett (Eastern District of Michigan) denied the motion for reinstatement "for the reasons best stated in defendant's brief in opposition to the motion," which read in full:

Brief in Opposition to Plaintiff's
Motion for Reinstatement
Plaintiff has got to be kidding.

Respectfully submitted,
