Congrats to James Urrutia on that $4.6 million settlement—according to the settlement agreement submitted to the Board of Examiners—his firm is getting $1.8 million of it.

The state paid $1.6 million for killing an inmate in 2023. Inflation is crazy.

Re DMV reporting, I see a budding area of law in divorce cases where one spouse tears off the sticker, reports the other spouse’s car as unregistered and then the lawyer has to fix it and include it in the case. Will need proof it was done, costs to fix, how it affected children as car can’t be driven to school temporarily, etc. Divorce litigants miss no opportunities for mischief.

My partner has a family law attorney that wandered into our area of practice for a case, behaved like a family law attorney in front of a real judge down at the RJC and got ABSOLUTELY NUKED. This dude did not recalibrate to his setting.

Only if you pronounce it like a character in a Monty Python sketch who has a very good friend in Wome by the name of Biggus Dickus.
