I wish he would have sued them for something real like how dry-cleaning my suit made of Italian Wool costs more than dry-cleaning my boyfriend's suit made of Italian Wool when his has more damn fabric than mine. That's a serious issue facing the legal profession.

Sounds like another unfair bar to women in the legal profession... low pay and exorbitant dry cleaning costs.

Damn straight. I have him lie and say my shirts are his when he takes them in so I get the cheap price but you can't really do that with a skirtsuit.

Plain and simple, this Clown as a Judge is an idiot and I hope He gets disbarred!

And some want to agree with him? Where is the justice?

Was there a motion for sanctions filed? I wonder if it was ruled on.

Edit: Here is the judgment

http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_b...n_judgment.pdf

Supposedly a decision on the rule 11 motion is pending.

No. They just had to close one of their two stores.

To tie the closing of that particular store to the lawsuit is highly speculative. I personally have a tough time believing that the lawsuit about the "missing pants" was enough to drive away business. Perhaps other market forces are at play.

I dunno.. it seems to me that this is the opening salvo in a civil suit against the good judge for wrecking their business.
