Pro Se Filing Of The Day: ‘Notice To F*ck This Court And Everything That It Stands For’

Editor's note: The readers of this blog will note that this Shark is very polite and does not use bad language. Your ProbateShark after experiencing the corrupt ethics and lack of legal capabilities of the judges within the Probate Court of Cook County understands Mr. Clark's frustration, but does not condone it.  Lucius Verenus, Schoolmaster, ProbateSharks.com

Pro Se Filing Of The Day: ‘Notice To F*ck This Court And Everything That It Stands For’



AngryEvery now and then, a federal motion is filed that’s so beautifully written that we simply wouldn’t be able to do it justice by describing it in words. Instead, we’re just going to show it to you.
Prepare to feast your eyes upon pure eloquence and class. From the plaintiff calling the judge an “old, IMPOTENT geezer” and a “f*cking b*tch” to alleging that it only “took [her] about 1 month to study the history of the world and to learn the history and inner workings of American jurisprudence, literally,” this motion — entitled “Notice To F*ck This Court And Everything That It Stands For” — is simply amazing.
This is just a sample of the incredible legal rhetoric you’ll find in this legal pleading:
[J]ust in case you haven’t noticed—I couldn’t give two f*cks about you or what you have to say. F*ck you, old man. You’re a joke. Your court’s a joke. You take it up the a*s; and you suck nuts. Lol.
Behold, a legal masterpiece.

  • Quote of the Day: Think Your Boss Is a Psychopath? Well, He Might Actually Be One…


    Deep inside me there’s a serial killer lurking somewhere. But I keep him amused with cocaine, Formula One, booty calls, and coruscating cross-examination.
    – a comment made by a successful lawyer who was interviewed by renowned psychologist and author Kevin Dutton for his new book, The Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Serial Killers Can Teach Us About Success (affiliate link).
    (Want to see where lawyers rank on the top ten list of the most psychopathic professions? Check out the list, after the jump.)

    According to the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, a psychopath will typically display these characteristics:
    Individuals [with psychopathic personality disorder] are arrogant and self-centered, and feel privileged and entitled. They have a grandiose, exaggerated sense of self-importance and they are primarily motivated by self-serving goals. They seek power over others and will manipulate, exploit, deceive, con, or otherwise take advantage of others, in order to inflict harm or to achieve their goals. They are callous and have little empathy for others’ needs or feelings unless they coincide with their own. They show disregard for the rights, property, or safety of others and experience little or no remorse or guilt if they cause any harm or injury to others. They may act aggressively or sadistically toward others in pursuit of their personal agendas and appear to derive pleasure or satisfaction from humiliating, demeaning dominating, or hurting others. They also have the capacity for superficial charm and ingratiation when it suits their purposes. They profess and demonstrate minimal investment in conventional moral principles and they tend to disavow responsibility for their actions and to blame others for their own failures and shortcomings.
    Does this sound like any lawyers you know or work for? Or perhaps it sounds like, well, you! It just might, because according to Dutton, these are the top ten most psychopathic professions:
    1. CEO
    2. Lawyer
    3. Media (TV/radio)
    4. Salesperson
    5. Surgeon
    6. Journalist
    7. Police officer
    8. Clergyperson
    9. Chef
    10. Civil servant
    That’s right: lawyers are the second-most psychopathic profession in the United States. It’s no small wonder that our loyal commenters seem so… special.
