Contracted Clause

by Julia Griffin

For Tam

“A Michigan federal judge… ordered an East Lansing, Michigan, firm called Dragon Lawyers PC
to stop plastering its pleadings with a large, suit-clad purple cartoon dragon, saying it’s not only
‘distracting, it’s juvenile and impertinent.’”
Law360

A purple dragon in a business suit
Will render an attorney’s action moot.
From this unprecedented case we find
The scales of Justice are a different kind.
