Crane on Law by James Crane
"Laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind." - Sir Francis Bacon
Poetic Justice in Action
Published in Litigation, General News, Case Law Update by James Crane
As I've mentioned in previous posts, I always enjoy when a judge provides entertainment in his opinion, either in the way of comedy, emotion, or just plain wit. In a recent case in the U.S. District Court of Washington, Judge Ronald Leighton granted a Motion for a More Definite Statement in a complaint alleging racketeering against GMAC Mortgage.
Judge Leighton was not impressed with the 465 page lawsuit and set out his conclusion in a limerick:
"Plaintiff has a great deal to say,
But it seems he skipped Rule 8(a).
His Complaint is too long,
Which renders it wrong,
Please re-write and re-file today."
That is classic. To see a little more detail, go to the Seattle Times website here.
If this whetted your appetite for limericks, go here.
