Judge Paine was a great jurist; perhaps...Sad news. Judge Paine was a great jurist; perhaps I have a soft spot for him as he handed me a big win early in my career. I do not want to minimize or make light of his service as a smart and fair judge, but we would be remiss if we did not also remember that Judge Paine was responsible for opinions that contained, without question, the greatest sub-headings in the history of jurisprudence. Remember these gems from Joyner v. Monier Roof Tile, Inc., 784 F.Supp. 872 (S.D.Fla.1992): "The Unforgettable Firing"; "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For"; "A Car in Every Garage, a Chicken in Every Pot and Every Man a King"; "Reconstruction of the Fables"; and "... and Justice for All"? My personal favorites are these sub-headings from Kingston Square Tenants Ass'n v. Tuskegee Gardens, Ltd., 792 F.Supp. 1566 (S.D.Fla.1992): "To 12(b) or Not to 12(b), That is the Question"; "Judicial Fourplay: Cort v. Ash"; "Talkin' 'Bout A Resolution"; "For Whom the Southern Bell Tolls"; and "RICO-Chet". Rest in peace, Judge!Stephennoreply@blogger.com
