Exit the Dragon - Sorry for being too badass for your honor

https://reason.com/volokh/2025/04/28/exit-the-dragon/

From Magistrate Judge Ray Kent's Order Striking Complaint today in Doe No. 2 v. Clinton County (W.D. Mich.):

Each page of plaintiff's complaint appears on an e-filing which is dominated by a large multi-colored cartoon dragon dressed in a suit, presumably because she is represented by the law firm of "Dragon Lawyers PC © Award Winning Lawyers". See Compl. (ECF No. 1). Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(f)(1) allows a court to "strike from a pleading an insufficient defense or any redundant, immaterial, impertinent, or scandalous matter." 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.

Their website states "Legal online store selling legal products. Our platform integrates AI to lower the cost of legal services".

Are they just Chatgpting their legal work?


Edit: most of their site links don't work, what the fuck is this.

He should not be practicing if he is mentally unwell, or rather so unwell that it affects his work.

Yeah, sadly someone’s judgement is the first thing to leave the building in a manic episode. Plus he probably feels GREAT and considers the dragon a GENIUS 6D CHESS MOVE in the game of life & litigation.

The Dragon himself:

He looks like he's trying to become the human version of Spyro with FAS, explains the dragon colors.

The world has been ran and operated by lolcows longer than Rome's existence.

I still wouldn't want a bi polar furry for my attorney.

I still wouldn't want a bi polar furry for my attorney.

I wouldn't either. I didn't say it was a good thing and I definitely did not say it was acceptable. I just said that it is.

Nothing gets maintained in Michigan, not even the websites.

"Your honor, show this watermark in the courtroom and critique it please."

Why a purple dragon? Really going for that Barney vibe

The world has been ran and operated by lolcows longer than Rome's existence.

Special mention goes to Eunuchs who have fucked up China so hard that its bloodiest period, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms can be traced back to those castrated men taking power from the Emperor.

Even ancient peoples were wary of the Troon before this.

Please, dear Heavenly Father, I don't ask much of you, but this morning I ask you to speak to Russell Greer's heart and mind and soul and encourage him to begin applying a similar eye-catching logo to his filings in the lolsuit against Null. Perhaps a large representation of his own frozen face, or a modest neon silhouette of himself flailing his limbs dancing. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Yet another cool idea with terrible execution. I'm so sick of law firms having boring names and when I think of dragons I'm like "hell yeah, that's bad ass" but the dragon is just a furry, or scalie or whatever the fuck, lawyer. I don't want a lawyer who is a dragon, I want a lawyer who is like a dragon in the sense of dragons being some allegory for power and ferocity. The icon sucks. If I had to make a law firm with dragon shit I'd do it like heraldry. Make it medieval looking and symbolic and respectable, not something that looks like it's straight out of furry porn.

5 seconds of searching "dragon logo design" got something that would have been acceptable.



Just invert the colors and it should work as a watermark.

 

[Fishmalk Observer]

Impressive.... Very nice...

Now, let's see the balldo Fursonna.

 

[RodgerDodger]

. Sadly it seems he runs his own practice so he doesn't answer to anyone but himself.

He answers to his poor clients. And almost certainly the disciplinary board of the Bar. You have to feel bad for any client that gets blindsided by their mentally ill lawyer suffering a psychotic breakdown.

I can't wait for him to show up in court in full dragon suit. Complete with Bad Dragon Dildo flopping off the front.

 

[Ordovický]

Its dumb, but also bold.

 

[Namekian George Floyd]

idk man, I think the judge should just let the guy have his gay purple dragon.
We live in too serious a world already, it'd be better if people were just allowed to do their goofy shit.

 

[Mobster Monitor]

If the dragon lawyer stuff doesn't work out for him, maybe a job at subway will?

 

[CharlesBarkley]

COOL DUDEZ BIG PENIS GOKU BROS is now open and ready to defend you! Like Goku holding up a spirit bomb, we will kamahama your legal issues.

 

[Spergichu]

Something about that dragon... looks familiar...

Spoiler: Right Leg of the Forbidden One

 

[obsdj]

He didn't even hire someone to design the logo, it's a stock vector.

And there's more where that came from (same artist):

A manic episode would explain a lot…

The idea of putting a cartoon dragon on all your court documents as a professional sounding good in a manic state is pretty hilarious I gotta admit.
