    Default DC Judges' Suit

    Maybe this is in the wrong place, if so please relocate it for me.

    What is the deal with this Judge suing the dry cleaners for $54M over pants? He lost the suit and is now wanting to callenge the sign of "Satisfaction Guarranteed".

    Am I the only one who sees this as deliberate misuse of valuable court time? I read his suit and can only find real damages of a few hundred dollars. The judge opted to rent a car and drive across town to another cleaner. That was his decision, why would feel the cleaner is responsible for that expense?

    OK, so all that gets tossed. But, the sign.... I cannot see where it would say "satisfaction guarranteed of we'll pay you $54M". I would, as well as many others, take that to mean "or your money back".

    Any legal eagles wanna chime in?? How would you advise this judge if he were your client? Would you have taken a case like that?

    The judge is representing himself because nobody would touch him as a client.

    Looking over some pasts posts, I read this one. Zedex, this Judge is bonkers, as vickash states. He has made a mockery of the court's and the US judicial system so he can be a big shot and show the world how much law knowledge he has, well the court disagreed, June decision, and his job is in jeopardy.

    Last I read on this case a law panel was deciding whether to reappoint him to his administrative Judgeship.

    Here is the Court's opinion if anyone is interested in reading it.

    Judgment entry:

    As Aaron so rightly points out, NO lawyer would touch it. They knew if they did thier reputation would disintegrate faster than the speed of light.

    This man cost the dry cleaner operator's, the Chung's, untold grief and hardship due to an inflated legal ego.

    The Judge's ruling helped restore our faith in the system.

    This guy is like bad gas... he just won't go away. How much further can he possibly take it before someone steps up and tells he how much of an idiot he is and to just let it go?? How much has he cost the cleaners, himself and taxpayers??

    How much has he cost the cleaners,
    it seems the $100,000 in legal costs was paid for by donations. They did close 2 of their 3 cleaning stores though.

    himself
    who cares? the more, the merrier.

    and taxpayers??
    anything is too much.



    The boss of Roy L. Pearson Jr., the administrative law judge whose $54 million pants lawsuit has turned the D.C. legal system into a punch line on late-night talk shows, has recommended that the city deny Pearson another term on the bench, D.C. government sources said Thursday.
    In a letter to the three-person commission that will decide whether Pearson gets reappointed, District of Columbia Chief Administrative Judge Tyrone T. Butler said Pearson does not deserve a 10-year term to the post, which pays more than $100,000 a year.
    Examiner.com,

    Pearson has had a history of doggedly pursuing legal matters.

    Before he became a D.C. judge two years ago, Pearson was unemployed after working as legal aid attorney for 24 years. He worked on one tenant lawsuit for 18 years, appealing the case all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.
    His former boss once called him the best attorney he ever hired, but their relationship soured and Pearson quit in 2002.

    In 2005, in his divorce suit, Virginia courts ordered him to pay his ex-wife, also a lawyer, $12,000 for "creating unnecessary litigation” and threatening her and her attorney with disbarment.

    At the time of the ruling, he had no steady job, no bank account and less than $2,000 in cash.
    I believe I read he did lose his job.

    While looking for info, I ran across these jokes. Obviously they would not apply to some lawyers. Some I have heard before, some, new to me. Enjoy. The bolded one is my favorite.

All I require in return is that your wife's soul, your children's souls, and their children's souls rot in hell for eternity."
