At the WSJ Law Blog, Peter Lattman raises an issue that has always haunted me in his June 27 post "Taking Cases for Publicity: Does it Pay?" Then, just below, he asks "Are Lawyers Emotional Wrecks?" Count on Lattman to come up with the best topics in this blog.

There's a detailed June 27 post at Overlawyered entitled "The Significance of Roy Pearson." Don't know who that is? Pearson is the judge of the-$67-million-lawsuit-for-a-pair-of-pants fame. And he's lost his suit over his pants. David Nieporant raises significant questions about a system that would allow such a frivolous lawsuit to be filed and left hanging over the heads of the defendants for more than two years. Pearson could have guessed well enough the eventual outcome of the lawsuit, but he apparently wanted to take revenge on the dry cleaners. He did so by using the legal system to cripple the ability of the defendants to make any major business decisions and compelling them to incur $100,000 in legal costs fighting the case, which should never have been entertained in the first place (except perhaps in a small-claims court). Whether they've won or lost is immaterial to people like Pearson as long as they succeed in causing the suffering that is their actual objective.
