You want a positive post about being a lawyer?

I had an opposing counsel blantantly misrepresent material facts in their motion. Not just spin, 180 degrees demonstrably false.

So I sent a letter saying: hey, I’m going to assume your client lied to you and you didn’t realize you lied to the court but candor to a tribunal, so please correct your pleading.

OC did not correct their pleading.

So I filed for sanctions and the judge ORDERED THEM! I’m so sick of judges who ignore bad behavior and then complain about an unprofessional bar, but this time the judge actually held the line. I’ve been gloating all day.
