autumn’s first geese
crapping on people
fly on
autumn wind–
red flowers she wanted
to pick
lying belly-up
yet still singing…
autumn cicada
by dagosan:
last day of summer –
the old cat naps
in the sunny window

neither frivolous nor meritless
Every one (look here, here, here, here, there and there, etc.) is talking about “frivolous” lawsuits, but they seriously need to define the term. As we have noted often (e.g., this post, and Comments here and here): a claim can be meritless but not frivolous. (See Model Rule 3.1,; Fed. Rule 11; law.com definition; and MetLife case) [with ethicalEsq retired, we sure could use another weblawger spelling out the issues!]
The New York Archdiocese has a good point: parents shouldn’t sue over their children’s grades and
discipline issues (except physical or sexual abuse, of course) (via Overlawyered.com; see upset)
