The Pelman complaint was simply laugh-out-loud funny. Then again, if the judge had to break the rules to toss it out, there is indeed a problem. I don’t remember your original post bringing up this point.

I’ve read complaints about insane clients (with the client’s identity heavily disguised) on lawyers’ personal blogs. Ethical lawyers screen out cases like this – but not all of them are ethical enough to refuse to file an insane case for a crazy client with the money to pay by the hour, and obviously many are sufficiently lacking in ethics to file a very poorly founded case in the hope that the defendant will pay them to go away.
