I do remember one story from ABA Litigation years ago, in a civil case, about an objection to a frivolous post-trial motion that read, in toto, "Plaintiff has got to be kidding." Court ruling: "Motion denied, for the reasons stated in the objection."

And to think about the cumulative anxiety and stress I have had over proper comma usage, one or two spaces after a period, or correct margin alignment, to say nothing of, you know, substance...

As I recall, this was Vinny Gambini's opening argument in MY COUSIN VINNY.

(Without looking yet) This reads like it's supposed to be a joke, but I live in a red state and know better.

At least it’s a safe bet AI didn’t do this for once.

i read "brief" as "beef" and was like "yeah when you think about it, beef is mostly made of grass and rainwater"
