Judge Who Lost Pant Suit Loses Job

Roy L. Pearson Jr., the administrative law judge who lost his $54 million lawsuit against a Northeast Washington dry cleaner, lost his job yesterday and was ordered to vacate his office, sources said.
Pearson, 57, who had served as a judge for two years, was up for a 10-year term at the Office of Administrative Hearings, but a judicial committee last week voted against reappointing him.
The panel had a seven-page letter hand-delivered to Pearson about 3:30 p.m., directing him to leave his office by 5 p.m. Pearson's term ended in May, at the height of his battle with the dry cleaners. Since then, he has remained on the payroll, making $100,000 a year as an attorney adviser.
A source familiar with the committee's meetings said Pearson's lawsuit played little role in the decision not to reappoint him.
Instead, the committee said it had reviewed Pearson's judicial decisions and audiotapes of proceedings over which he had presided and found he did not demonstrate "appropriate judgment and judicial temperament," according a source who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the case.

Justice is served.
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

I find that hard to believe.Instead, the committee said it had reviewed Pearson's judicial decisions and audiotapes of proceedings over which he had presided and found he did not demonstrate "appropriate judgment and judicial temperament," according a source who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the case.

I'm sure if you can find something as hideous as Roz, you can find something appropriate for that fat bastard...minimetoo26 wrote:Yeah, but he's still naked! I'm guessing the cleaners lost his pants, too.
Hey--HE should sue! I can use 54 million bucks!
If HE sued for 54 million, you'd get a check for about $3.64...

I think Roz is gorgeous, personally. And her mellifluous voice rivals Ariel's.

Re: Judge who sued over lost pants loses job
Reminds me of the time that a woman on Carson's staff who was being fired asked if there was anything she could do to keep her job. Carson said: "Yeah, lose the pants suit."themanintheseersuckersuit wrote:Justice is served.

Or something like that.

Why pop culture when they ask all those tough laundry detergent questions like they did yesterday?
Just don't ever call Marley for a question about Fabuloso...
