Let me be the first to wish you Happy Valentines Day! If you’re anything like me, you’re so busy at work that you barely realized that America’s favorite Hallmark holiday was upon us. Or conversely, if you’re anything like the woman that occupies the office next to me, you’ve been crying to your sister for a week now about spending another year alone (what can I say, our office has thin walls).

For those of you who are feeling especially bitter this Valentine’s Day, don’t worry, Inside Legal Blogs has got your back. Marriage isn’t always all it’s cracked up to be. For example, take a look at this couple that was discussed on the Volokh Conspiracy.

Apparently, their New York Times wedding announcement told the story of their fairy tale meeting. The groom and bride met (and hooked up in Vegas)…and if that isn’t romantic enough for you, when they met, the groom was married…and had been for thirty years. Say it with me people, that’s classy.  I don’t know if there’s anything else in the world that would make you feel like you’re better off single than that story. (By the way, I
swear I’m really not a bitter hag).

Moving on, to sarcasm that stems from a legal place…every litigator knows what it’s like to be frustrated by a judge. So its no surprise that judges are sometimes annoyed by…other judges. Such is the case I read about on law.com. Apparently, in a fit of frustration and rage, trial court judge xyz referred to an appellate court as…a kangaroo court!?! Now, usually, when I’m upset with someone, there are a few other words that come to my mind before “kangaroo”. But that’s just me…
