Rappin' Reply Brief

From the (new) legal writer:
A pro-se litigant appealing an attorney-fee award submitted a reply brief “utilizing rap/rhyme in the argument topics to better emphasize strong concept points.” It worked. According to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the appellate court reversed the attorney-fee award. To read the rhyming reply, click here. (Hat tip to Howard Bashman.)

A sample from the brief:
Regarding frivolous filings, one thing is clear,
Notice to show cause and proper service before you appear.
And if Industrial vs. Marquardt is any measure,
Its the frivolous allegations, not the venue of your endeavor.
But the allegations, how could they be frivo-lous?
Erlandson has a seizure the only day she deals with us.
