Judge Moreno May Have Loved Paris Hilton, But Court Artist Didn’t

As we’ve mentioned before, Paris Hilton was in court in Miami last week after being sued for $8 million for refusing to promote the apparently terrible 2006 movie “Pledge This!”

We’ve told you about how Chief Judge Federico Moreno (S.D. Fla.) was enchanted by Paris. He was perplexed by her use of “BFF,” so she explained the meaning. He displayed his comprehension by remarking, “This will be my best case forever.” To which Hilton replied, “You’re my best judge forever.”

Update: There is a minor disagreement over what exactly Judge Moreno said. See here (comment #2; gavel bang: commenter).

Here’s the court artist’s depiction of the Hilton-Moreno relationship. We’re not sure if Judge Moreno is bored or infatuated.

Moreno — who hasn’t made a ruling yet — may have found Paris enchanting, but the court artist apparently didn’t. Paris looked much less like a 50-year-old transvestite in the photos taken by the Associated Press.

Well, it's art, not hi-res digital photography. Nevertheless, it looks like an accurate depiction of her to me. Did she wear panties?

Expect a very brilliant decision from the judge based on his wise latino's life experiences.

She looks like Madonna in that painting. So, 50-year-old transvestite's a pretty accurate description.

Expect a tired, poorly worded comment based on PE's track record.

That's not what the judge said. From http://sdfla.blogspot.com/2009/07/best-blog-post-ever.html#comments :

The Chief definitely did not say that this is is best case forever (despite what Paris may have heard)...he said "I don't want this to be my best case forever" (in other words, "let's finish this stupid case!")

I have masturbated to her sex video before. It was nice. She has a nicely waxed beaver.

Your mom is either bored or infatuated

The assistant dean for career services at HLS was quoted as saying: “What we try to tell students is if you do well, focus on your studies and do good work when you’re at the firm, the rest will take care of itself.” And the easter bunny will make an encore appearance this year with your offer letters within a few weeks. The good dean is trying to highlight that there are some still great opportunities for HLS grads. Document review in Peoria, IL or Wheeling, WV. or working for a small shop in Richmond are still great options.

"much less" to "much MORE"?

what's that pendant she's wearing? some ancient, cursed, religious token with magical properties?

based on the rest of the artists fidelity to reality it was probably really a crucifix.

12 - Good luck finding yourself a job in Biglaw at a "peer firm" once you finally graduate, asshat.

13 - No, read the sentence again - slowly.

Hilton looked LESS like a tranny in the pictures by the Associated Press than she did in the artist's drawing.

To pass the bar, you need to work on your reading comprehension!

I'm a bit confused on this issue. Please clarify:

Everyone on this site does nothing but bash Big Law. Yet, it is also these same people's favorite past time to say how anything smaller is worthless.

Unless Big Law is purgatory and Small Law is hell, which I very much doubt, these seem like inconsistent stances.

That is actually a photo of her.

She DOES look like a tranny in that illustration. You can practically see the Adam's apple!

17 = douche bag.

Get back to your $200 flat fee divorce practice. If I have a client that needs to incorporate his business on a budget and can't seem to figure out the forms on Legal Zoom I'll send you a referral.

I would stay off the comment board unless you're ready for the big leagues.

where's the wonk eye and jizz stain? thought that was mandatory for her

As anyone in court would report, the judge most definitely said, "I hope this is NOT my best case forever"... Given the court drawing, he seemed less than enchanted

Does Paris really have a wonk eye (lazy eye)? I mean, in real life, or are people just giving her a bad time?

-curious

20, you will need to actually meet with a real client before being able to refer them to anyone. In the meantime have fun with that document review.

More likely to be outsourced to India: document review or divorce work?

27,

Your question is based on a false premise. Virtually all divorces can be handled pro se (https://www.legalzoom.com/legal-divorce/divorce-overview.html). And document review should be largely performed by technology and effective searches. I agree that most all document review will be either outsourced or obsolete as technology improves.

To answer a question you didn't ask - arguing a case to a jury will never be outsourced. My job is safe.

Paris Hilton has a face like a catcher's mitt.

I have to say that Judge Moreno doesn't look 80 years old in real life, either.

Paris has a nice BJ technique in her sex video.
