summary
Federal judges do not like it when lawyers electronically watermark every page of their legal PDFs with a gigantic image-purchased for $20 online-of a purple dragon wearing a suit and tie. Not even if your firm's name is "Dragon Lawyers." Federal Magistrate Judge Ray Kent of the Western District of Michigan was unamused by a recent complaint (PDF) that prominently featured the aubergine wyrm. The unusual order generated coverage across the legal blogging community, which was apparently ensorcelled by a spell requiring headline writers to use dragon-related puns.
