This might be the only time I will ever recommend reading a case or refer to a lawsuit as an enjoyable read because lawsuits are almost never enjoyable reads - especially summary judgment motions.
But this case is an exception. You can find it here.
It's a little long, but is highly entertaining, especially if you are into petty high school behavior, the movie Mean Girls, crazy moms living vicariously through their daughters, high school cheerleading stereotypes and/or frivolous lawsuits.
If there wasn't a case caption and cases cited throughout, I would have thought I was reading a script for a proposed Lifetime movie. Granted, I'm sure the quality minds at Lifetime are already drafting up the screenplay for this.
And speaking of citing cases, the case cited on pg. 13 - Hayut v. State University of New York - is incredible. I literally laughed out loud when I read the brief facts from that case that were cited.
Anyways, if you have some free time this is a fun read - even for a non-lawyer. Well, at least the first half is before the case gets too deep in legal analysis. Maybe it's all boring and just entertaining when compared to all other legal rulings out there. Although, I'm pretty sure the opening paragraph and footnote 13 (pg. 24) would be entertaining to most anyone.
Also, I wonder when/if this mom will ever realize she is completely whack. Surely she will appeal this ruling and try and get the Supreme Court to hear her case. But even when they throw out her case and refuse to hear it I'm sure she still won't realize she completely ridiculous and out of control. She will probably feel like there is a nationwide conspiracy to prevent her daughter from making the cheer team. Which there is of course. At least now there is.
