Lawyer Submits Cartoon in Apple, Amazon, DOJ Lawsuit

spacepower7 · Sep 10, 2012, 12:51 AM

I didn't see this anywhere else but thought it was awesome/creative.

A lawyer submitted a 5 page cartoon to the court...

This looks real, but can anyone (lawyers with access) verify it?

A cartoon amicus brief outlining objections to the Dept of Justice
suit . . . (the lawyer was asked to cut his brief down to 5 pg, so
this is what he did!). I guess some lawyers actually have a sense of humor....

Pretty great arguments for a cartoon....

Best Brief Ever.

Yeah, I agree, but I'm stunned as why no news organizations picked up on it, and only one comment here.

Has the world gone dumb?

I understand it with a background in Econ, Biz, and Law, but it was definitely complex without prior exposure to those fields.

Yep, here's the document right here

And the original is in there too. Makes it even more hilarious.

Great way to present a complex case of arcane legalities and droning precedents.

This might be a great way for talented cartoonists to make a living. Dilbert presenting a complex business law case and the opposition represented by the Pointy Haired boss.

Here for your enjoyment, and it is worth reading, is a Montana workers compensation case decision that has it all:

Morons.
A grizzly bear.
A moron being mauled by a grizzly bear.
A little morning Marijuana pick-me-up.
A lying sack of **** employer.
Bad judgement veering off towards idiocy, and...
White Castle hamburgers.

Plus a judge with a sense of humor and style.

Enjoy
