Yes, we have some of the smartest lawyerin' in the world down here in Texas. Just to prove my point, I would like to point out this very poignant analysis of the skill and expertise of my learned brethren from the Texas bar in this case by Samuel B. Kent, United States District Judge, Southern District of Texas, Galveston Division:
Before proceeding further, the Court notes that this case involves two extremely likable lawyers, who have together delivered some of the most amateurish pleadings ever to cross the hallowed causeway into Galveston, an effort which leads the Court to surmise but one plausible explanation. Both attorneys have obviously entered into a secret pact — complete with hats, handshakes and cryptic words — to draft their pleadings entirely in crayon on the back sides of gravy-stained paper place mats, in the hope that the Court would be so charmed by their child-like efforts that their utter dearth of legal authorities in their briefing would go unnoticed. Whatever actually occurred, the Court is now faced with the daunting task of deciphering their submissions.attribution: Susie who posted it just for my benefit < Who Tends the Fires < Blue's News Posted by Tiger at July 2, 2003 02:35 PM
