As an experienced attorney/employee in the federal courts, I'm surprised by the at-turns flamboyant, inflammatory, and unsophisticated language used in these filings. Is this typical of legal writing in the Southern states -- perhaps a cultural difference between what is considered proper there, and up here in the northeast? Or is this just the work of attorneys who are transparently trying to titillate the public or give sound bytes to the tabloid news, rather than be taken seriously by the court?
At the level and location where I work, judges would roll their eyes at this kind of writing -- if not openly rebuke the attorneys who engaged in it.
