It's no wonder we can't get along without lawyers...  after trying to read all of that legalese, I haven't a clue what is actually going on.  [%|]

Can any of our lawyer-members decipher that mumbo-jumbo and give us the straight skinny?

You forgot the judges make $, it's called job security.
And the clerks......
And the court cops......
Yada....yada....yada....

No need for justice when the "process" is so lucrative!

Been there, done that!

Nope this is just ASA related dockets. From the dockets I see that Lewis Machine and Tool beat ASA for about $20,000. Harris Barrel Works and ASA settled out of court.

I guess I could get back into PACER and start a new thread with any docket sheets from Hesse/Vulcan suits.
