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).
