Lawyers...Yuk

the above story does not describe a lawyers actions. It describes a plaintiff's actions--the fact that he is a lawyer is immaterial to the facts of the lawsuit, so it would not rise to the level of an ethical violation. He's only doing what millions of other litigious plaintiffs do. Sounds like he pissed off the judge, however, which is never a good thing, and he could be subject to sanctions (i.e., a fine) for filing a frivolous suit.
