    The 54 million is a cut down figure from what he originally asked for. The original amount included the Star ship Enterprise, and the one ring from Middle Earth.:biggrin_2559:

    Depends on the attorney's fee. The Courtroom itself is free of charge.

    There is a saying among lawyers... if you can't be successful as a lawyer, become a judge. I've come across my fair share of "rock stupid" judges, but believe me this one takes the cake.:banghead:

    I believe it is, it's called a code of silence.

    I can't belive this is still going on. Why is this court even entertaining this case. Through it out!!!!

    I agree, Firstcav. Unfortunately, in this case anyway, once a "cause of action" has been established, the court must entertain it as a matter of law. This case belongs in a small claim's Court, if at all. I just can't fathom what possessed this Judge to play the town fool.:occasion9:
