Motion For Fist Fight
(Jimmy Akin)
Lawyers make a lot of bizarre motions in court (at least some of them do), but I don't think I've ever seen one this bizarre before.

READ THE WHOLE THING (AND THE RESPONSE BY THE OTHER SIDE)
(CHT: Southern Appeal)
Be sure to note the part where the part about having the lawyers drunk and stoned friends present so they don't get beat up too bad.

I work with several Montanans. Should I be afraid? :)

Obviously the lawyer typed this up, 'cause there's too many typos for a secretary.

You forgot to give me the evil file format warning.
I clicked the link but noticed the .pdf too late to stop my browser from freezing.

The above is the world's single funniest legal pleading.

Because the world's funniest legal pleading was in Texas, I just had to do a little research. It turns out that Paul Hensler (now deceased) was indeed a licensed member of the State Bar of Texas. Mr. Hensler was subjected to disciplinary action and received a partially probated suspension of his law license on 07/10/1988. I can't determine the specific charges that led to the disciplinary action without calling the Disciplinary Committee (and I stay as far away from that bunch as humanly possible), but I would hazard a guess it had something to do with that divorce petition he filed!

Both the Montana and the Texas pleadings are quite funny. The initial Montana motion was obviously done in haste and anger, but shows creativity.
I particularly liked the cartoons by the deranged Texan - that and that "holy matrimony" was entered upon by virtue of a Justice of the Peace ceremony! How odd that Texas would have accepted hand-written pleadings so recently.
