The Court is not a cartoon.

Yeah buddy, got some bad news for ya…
American courts ARE a cartoon, and their role is Wile E. Coyote, whereas the Roadrunner is played by the 1%.

"Ooh, almost got him! Maybe next time."
Kind of a harsh and severe way of dealing with it.
- What’s harsh about “cut your bullshit, this is a courtroom”?
  
  Nobody’s going to jail, they just have to stop sending cartoons.
  
  I'm willing to lower my standards for describing a ruling with synonyms for "draconian" when there's a dragon involved.
- It also makes for a waste of ink, for those judges and lawyers who are more comfortable with hard copies.
  
  Now it all makes sense, dinosaurs (particularly the Brontosaurus) have a long-standing feud with dragons for stealing their thunder.
  
  Also:
- Telling them to stop doing it, without punishing anyone in any way, is a severe way of dealing with it?
  
  What?
- Please don’t ever get into hard labor, you would burn out in like under a minute if you think this is harsh
  
  To be clear, you believe that my comment about the ruling being draconian is sincere in spite of the other replies here?
It seemed random until I saw the law firm’s name is Dragon Lawyers
- As though they have some legitimate and non-random reason to name themselves "Dragon Lawyers"?
  
  I don’t know about the name, but they are staying on-brand
Literally 1984
Illegible when photocopied.
I'm all for the dragon watermark, but after looking at it, it's laughably obnoxious. Truly amazing imagining a boomer judge reading it and just getting mad hahaha
Can they at least keep it as the logo? That's a very trustworthy, confident looking dragon, after all.
Lame
I'd absolutely use a lawyer that put a badass dragon on every page
as it should as its irrelevant. Would a cross be ok or crescent or american flag or russian flag or natzi flag.
