An Enigma Wrapped In A Riddle Tucked Inside A Really Crappy Pleading
After spending all day writing deposition questions, I got a big laff out of Prof. Bainbridge's post of this Texas bankruptcy judge's response to some coyote-ugly legal writing.
As we like to say 'round here, that one is gonna leave a mark.
In all fairness, if you follow the link to the motion on which the judge unloads, it turns out to be a pro se job written by somebody who appears to be barely literate. Courts will sometimes cut such people some slack.
Then again, sometimes they won't. Res ipsa loquitur.

That makes me feel so much better about my own legal writing. Thanks, Robb-O.
