Oh yes,
Rule 11 bull...
My sister (attorney) was at a party with a well known judge who stated he had never and would NEVER grant a rule 11 sanction as it would put too much of a chilling effect on the system...
hmmm,,,,
Don't laugh...I saw him in action and you would not believe what people got away with in his court room. I learned something very important...lawyers lie. They lie to the judge, they lie to the jury, they lie to anyone who will listen.
Evan,
When is the last time you saw a rule 11 actually granted? And if so, what was the penalty? I'm with Jamo on this one.
