From 2005 to 2015 this blog presented news items and resources relating to trial advocacy and the legal system, with a focus on Washington State. It was developed to support the Trial Advocacy Program at the University of Washington School of Law, but broadened to include appellate practice, the courts, access to justice, and related topics. It is no longer active.

Victorious Pants Defendants Have Losses
A lawsuit in DC got a lot of attention -- an administrative law judge sued a dry cleaner for millions of dollars over a problem with a pair of pants. He lost. The Korean couple that owned the dry cleaning business got a lot of support, including fundraisers that covered their attorney's fees. But they have still suffered losses -- they lost a lot of business and suffered a lot of stress. And now they have closed the shop (they still have one other shop). Even litigation that you win can have a high cost. Marc Fisher, Dry Cleaners' Victory in Pants Lawsuit Still Comes With a Loss.
