An Order that Says What the Judge Really Thinks
If Court Orders documented what the judge was thinking, they would all look something like this order from a Kentucky state court. Seems that the judge was excited that the parties settled the case.
My favorite part of the order was the footnote to the word amicably: “The Court uses the word 'amicably' loosely.”
Don't stop reading on the first page. Paragraph 4 is not to be missed. 
The Order was entered by Judge Martin Sheehan (not pictured).
Obviously not an order drafted and submitted by either of the parties...
Wonder if an Order like that would violate any judicial performance canons in MS? On the one hand, it's hardly professional, but on the other hand, it's approving a settlement, so technically neither party has anything to be aggrieved about. I guess the attorneys could argue that the judge was disparaging their case and their professional reps...
Very cool. My brother Sean is one of the lawyers on the case.
If I'm the clerk, I'm vaguely worried about being held in contempt of court ...
To whom would the clerk submit an invoice from the expert in question?
