Dear tumblr, have we heard about the sweeping reforms announced by the new LA DA?? Because I read a thread by the guy this morning that actually made me weep.

“Thinking was torment; why not give up thinking, and drift and dream? But the misery of the world, she thought, forces me to think. Or was that a pose? Was she not seeing herself in the becoming attitude of one who points to his bleeding heart? to whom the miseries of the world are misery, when in fact, she thought, I do not love my kind.”

judicial-review

Plaintiff’s counsel, whose name is Harry Lore, read defendant’s brief and found it a bore. Instead of a reply brief, he acted pretty quick and responded with a clever limerick: “Admiralty process is hoary With pleadings that tell a sad story Of Libels in Rem— The bane of sea-faring men The moral: Better personally served than be sorry.” Not to be outdone, the defense took the time to reply with their own clever rhyme. The defense counsel team of Mahoney, Roberts, & Smith drafted a poem cutting right to the pith: “Admiralty lawyers like Harry Both current and those known from lore Be they straight types, mixed or fairy Must learn how to sidestep our bore. For Smith, not known for his mirth With his knife out for Mackensworth With Writs, papers or Motions to Quash Knows that dear Harry’s position don’t wash.” Overwhelmed by this outburst of pure creativity, we determined to show an equal proclivity. Hence this opinion in the form of verse, even if not of the calibre of Saint-John Perse.

“After this remarkably long walk on a short legal pier, having received no useful guidance whatever from either party, the Court has endeavored, primarily based upon its affection for both counsel, but also out of its own sense of morbid curiosity, to resolve what it perceived to be the legal issue presented.”

— Bradshaw v. Unity Marine Corp., 147 F. Supp. 2d 668 (S.D. Tex. 2001)
