D.C. Superior Court is not really a “municipal court.” It’s more akin to a state court of general jurisdiction. It hears all kinds of civil and criminal cases.

As for the Pearson docket, look no further than the court’s own online records.

It appears as though the defense filed one – it was granted in part and denied in part on May 16, 2006. The plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment with regard to the Consumer Protection Act was denied.

Were the orders from those rulings?

I’ve heard no mention of them in this high profile case and have assumed that none were filed because they were not available in this particular municipal court.
