A Michigan Judge and a Lesson in Courtroom Folly
The piece recounts a Michigan county judge mis ruling on trial procedure in a tort case. The defendant claimed the right to open the case, was denied, and the judge ordered the plaintiff to wait while the defendant prepared. The plaintiff protested, and the scene devolved into a farcical exchange ending with the judge insisting the decision stands. The narrative then shifts to General Jackson, praising his relentless energy and audacity in pursuit of victory.
