    This lawyer got so much free advertising out of this. He’s probably got clients booked out for years now.

    I’ve got some serious doubts about the character of anyone who presents themselves as a purple dragon.

    https://dragons.fandom.com/wiki/Purple_Dragon_(Dungeons_%26_Dragons)

    The Purple Dragon (Dungeons & Dragons) is a type of dragon in the Dungeons & Dragons universe. It is an evil-aligned chromatic dragon.

    Purple dragons, often confused with deep dragons, are possibly the least well known of the chromatic dragon family. Most surface creatures have no knowledge of the existence of purple dragons. Many of those that have heard of purple dragons dismiss such stories as myth or misconception. After all, in the darkness below the earth, who can say whether a dragon’s scales are purple or black?

    Black dragons rarely live far underground. The deeper explorers descend, the more likely they are to encounter a purple dragon than a black. People who live permanently in the deep hollows of the earth know purple dragons as an all-too-real and a much feared threat.

    A purple dragon is a talented manipulator of other creatures. It achieves control through lies, misdirection, and direct mental domination. A purple dragon might seek control for any number of reasons, including sheer delight in bandying its power about, a desire to form a bulwark of allies and thralls for security, or curiosity about newly discovered tunnels or crevices leading to unknown areas deeper below, for which recruiting bands of disposable explorers might serve its purposes.

    Don’t bullshit around with people’s legal representation. You’re a professional with a responsibility to the client and the profession. Take your shit seriously.

      Based on the Reddit thread I linked to, they have two (which do not host the same website).

      There’s also https://firebreathingdragonlawyers.com/

      Both of them are only a month old.

      $ whois dragonlawyerspc.com|grep "^Creation"

      $ whois firebreathingdragonlawyers.com|grep "^Creation"
      Creation Date: 2025-03-30T08:14:12Z
      $
      

      EDIT: Also, if either domain had lapsed and was simply re-registered at that point, archive.org’s Wayback Machine had never indexed it prior to that point.

    My God that is absurd looking. I can understand like a little logo in the right hand corner or something. But the whole page? And every time they’re their name is listed it’s bolded purple and capitalized? Wow

        Oh, the literal wording is freaking great.

        Use of this dragon cartoon logo is not only distracting, it is juvenile and impertinent. The Court is not a cartoon. Accordingly,

        IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s complaint (ECF No. 1) is STRICKEN. Plaintiff is directed to file an amended complaint, containing the same allegations as the original complaint, without the cartoon dragon by no later than May 5, 2025.

        IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall not file any other documents with the cartoon dragon or other inappropriate content.

        Judge is having none of this bullshit.

      There is also a little logo in the right-hand bottom corner.

    Damn, I’m usually an uptight fuck and think furries often bring this aspect of their identity into places where it isn’t appropriate, but I think the judge has a stick up their ass here and 100% agree with drag. The judicial branch is a joke when this fucking chode gets to treat the highest court in the land as his fascist rubber stamp, but these people get their complaint stricken by a magistrate judge for a cute, harmless cartoon of a dragon.

      I mean, not really. This is weird shit to put in a legal document and is pretty pointless. It’s also just hard to read due to contrast issues (which can be particularly relevant depending on any disabilities of interested parties, etc.). Like I’m pretty sure there is text on there that does not meet WCAG guidelines.

      It’s definitely not appropriate for a court document. I’d go farther and say putting anything to dramatically draw attention to oneself in a court document is inappropriate. That’s simply not what court documents are for. They should strive to be as mundane, uninteresting, an impartial as possible.

      There are a lot of absolutely terrible judges out there, which I’ll never dare to excuse. But this particular instance isn’t anywhere on that level. The judge is merely saying to cut this bullshit out and resubmit it without it.

      From the records:

      IT IS ORDERED that plaintiff’s complaint (ECF No. 1) is STRICKEN. Plaintiff is directed to file an amended complaint, containing the same allegations as the original complaint, without the cartoon dragon by no later than May 5, 2025.

      IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that plaintiff shall not file any other documents with the cartoon dragon or other inappropriate content.

    Reddit’s lawyer forum had some discussion:

    https://old.reddit.com/r/Lawyertalk/comments/1ka9oc1/lets_all_start_filing_pleadings_with_a_giant/


    The trial court ordered them to refile without the cartoon dragon, but did not order them to refile without a cartoon dragon.


    This needs to be regulated. Like allowable D&D dragon type scales to years in practice

    So, are chromatic dragons allowed at all, or just metallic? Or maybe just gold, for the lawful aspect.

    Circuit split. Ninth Circuit allows chromatic obvi but Fifth has said only metallic


    The judge missed the opportunity to put the order on paper with a sick dinosaur watermark

          Are you aware just how long anime has been around? There are boomers who grew up on anime. Astro Boy is from the 60s.
