"Why doesn't’t he or she just throw the case out instead of perpetuating this circus?"

Professional courtesy,

there are some things you would do to a lawyer but not to a lab rat

Sharks although have been around for thousands of years unlike lawyers, sharks server a purpose

Only a fool would spend millions of dollars on a 180K a year job.

and only fools will continually reelect afore mentioned fools.

“Stupid is as stupid does. That being said, race has absolutely nothing to do with this.”

I did not say that it did.
I indicated that it is typical of something the “Justice Brothers: JJ and Al would pull. They spend their lives scamming.

At the very least, the man has a personality disorder (e.g., obsessive-compulsive). There are often mentally ill people who come to the attention of the public, but the State cannot act. The eventual results can range from mass murder to this sort of thing.

IMO, We are becoming a society increasingly unable to protect itself.

[Gorzaloon]

Three times they have offered Pearson a settlement, most recently for $12,000. Three times Pearson has refused.

That sounds like a deadly mistake. It only encouraged him. He would have regarded it as a confession of judgement.

The guy is crazy as a sh*thouse rat, and should have been committed long ago.

curiosity, would losing lawyer being paying bills, or losing litigant??

In my pipedream of tort reform, it would depend on the lawyer-client relationship. In a contingency fee arrangement, the lawyer and client are essentially partners and should be jointly and severably liable. If the attorney has been hired strictly on a fee for service basis, the client would bear the primary responsibility.

[Non-Sequitur]

Must have been one hell of a pair of pants.

[Mark was here]

I feel sorry for the guy.

He found someone he could bully in the Korean couple, and has made their life miserable.

I don't feel sorry for him, I despise him.

[gondramB]

I really should have put “merit” in quotes...

[TexasCajun]

"Dat man kwazy! "

[Quix]

Uhhhh . . .

how to safely talk about . . .

lost marbles

cranial rocks

loose screws

[iopscusa]

Just another DC CRACKED UP AA Public Servant.

[Sender]

So will the Chungs be reimbursed for all their legal bills? Can they go after Judge Trousers to pay all costs?

[Mark was here]

That being said, race has absolutely nothing to do with this.

We can pretend it does not.

We can quietly wonder if race played a role in making an unemployed legal aid lawyer a judge?

We can quietly wonder if race played a role in suing the couple because the were Korean. That he may never would of considered a lawsuit against a black couple?

I did not know the Judge was African-American until I came upon this thread. I had all ready decided that I hated the guy for a frivolous law suit. When I saw his picture, the circle was completed, and I was reminded of the Rodney King riots in L.A. Maybe I am wrong, for having such thoughts.

“What do you call a lawyer with an IQ of BELOW 50?”
More aptly defines the requirement don’t youy think?

[csvset]

I didn't know that Pearson was divorced until I read this story. It explains a lot.

I was wondering if the guy was married. It seems as though the guy loves torrmenting people via the court system.

Throw the lawsuit out and then throw the bum out of his cushy job.

[Mark was here]

I wonder why he got divorced. I could see this clown suing his wife for mental distress caused by “dust on the refrigerator”.

[COUNTrecount]

He sould also sue his current cleaners, his lapels are lumpy.

[Nailbiter]

If I posted my pipe dreams about lawyers I would get banned.
LOL

[Wilhelm Tell]

I don't feel sorry for him, I despise him.

I think it is criminal to abuse the court system like this and to try to "legally" rob people of all they own and then some. Anyone who would do something like that is just plain evil.

From 1978 to 2002, Pearson was the attourney for the Washington Neighborhood Legal Services Program, serving as the Assistant Director for Legal Operations from 1989 onwards. From 2003 to 2005, he was a contract hearing examiner for the Office of Police Complaints, and on May 2nd, 2005, Pearson was appointed as an administrative law judge for Washington D.C. (kind of stagnated on his way to the Supreme Court now hasn’t he?)

Accusations of Corruption

In 2004 Mr. Pearson was accused of corruption for giving his son’s girlfriend a city job - after which it was revealed Mr. Pearson was actually sleeping with his son’s girlfriend on regular occasion. During his tenure as an administrative judge for Washington DC he was accused of smoking crack cocaine in the courthouse washroom, an accusation supported by camera video that later went “missing” from the evidence room Mr. Pearson had access to himself.
