When PACER Is The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Who knew that reading dockets could be so fun?

When you’re a regularly practicing attorney, PACER is a purely utilitarian website for reprinting a pleading that you should have on file but you’ve clearly lost. But when you’re on the journalism side, it’s really just the gift that keeps on giving.

Because there are people in this world that say crazy stuff. And then there are people who set their wild, belligerent ramblings to writing. And then, if you’re really lucky, those people will get into a federal lawsuit and allow us all a glimpse into their world.
