Pearson vs Chung. The lawsuit featured stupidity like a 60 something year old man crying over a lost pair of pants, a witness complaing about the holocaust, and even as the inspiration for an episode of Law & Order. After the case got national media attention, some lawyers stepped forth to represents the Chungs per bono, and donations covered the legal costs they had earlier incurred. It ultimately ended with the case being ruled in favor of the Dry cleaners, Pearson being fined something like 12k in his divorce proceedings from his wife, his term as a sitting judge not being extended (yes, a sitting judge sued someone for an absurd sum of money over a pair of pants), and generally being lampooned in the media. He appealed, lost, appealed again, lost. He also sued the Office of Administrative Hearings for wrongful termination (in relation to not having his term as judge extended), which was thrown out. So yeah. A sitting judge ruined his career over a pair of pants.
