To all the law students out there

Is this an elaborate hoax? And other questions...


So, I found this site, which leads here, an apparently legit law firm. Go ahead, read it. Really, all of it. Did you read all of the bullet points of the last link? Particularly the third from the bottom? Particularly the number? Seriously? For pants?

So, my first question for the legal brains is this: Is this story legit, and if so, does this point to a problem in our litigious society? And more to the point, how can I get in on the profitable decay of our legal system?

Second question: Regardless of the legitimacy of this story, would you personally take this case, to win the guy with the pants his money (under the assumption that you could choose your own cases)?

Finally, I found this. Under the assumption that your firm took such a case (where you had no input in whether the case was taken), how boring would writing this brief be? Pages 5-16 blow my mind. In the end, physics/math may have an equivalent level of busy work, but it just seems amazing to me.

The first two questions are the ones I'm actually interested in. I suspect the answer to the last one is "really boring."

PS: What's up with the guy who commented on nuraido's post? Where'd he come from?

It's totally legit. It's been all over the news for a while - it's even on the front page of the Post's metro section today

Crazy, huh?
