Legal quote

Saw this quote on the Freakonomics blog:

Now-retired U.S. District Judge Wayne Alley (Western District of Oklahoma) wrote:

 

I suppose counsel have a penumbral constitutional right to regard each other as schmucks, but I know of no principle that justifies litigation pollution. … This case makes me lament the demise of duelling. I cannot order a duel, and thus achieve a salubrious reduction in the number of counsel to put up with.

Ouch!
