Hilarious legal proceedings

"A judge in Texas named Samuel Kent has acquired a reputation (and a not-so-small fan club) for his REALLY funny legal decisions."

http://www.boortz.com/Kent.htm (with the Good Parts highlighted for easy reading) - a decision about the applicable statute of limitations for a case

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/skent1.shtml - A response for a change of venue request

http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/obiwan4.shtml - A response to a lawsuit by Bolivia (the small, South American nation) against Big Tobacco in his district. ("Obiwan" refers to the unrelated name-change case at obiwan1.shtml.)

Thank you for a delightful diversion! I shall have to check with my friend Lloyd in Denton Texas, a lawyer himself, to be sure he's seen this. (I'd bet that he has, but heck, you never know.)

These are great. I wish all it took was being really snarky to be a judge- everyone I know whose unemployeed would be set.
