Pro se litigants are the best.
Posted on June 24, 2008I would like to introduce you to an extremely litigious pro se inmate, Harry Franklin. Back in 1983, Mr. Franklin was a thorn a certain district court judge's side, to say the least. At the time that this decision was...

Way to think on your feet, mi amigo.
Posted on June 04, 2008A lawyer joke for you. And, it's a funny one: Two lawyers are in a bank, when, suddenly, armed robbers burst in. While several of the robbers take the money from the tellers, others line the customers, including the lawyers,...
