The Court is not a cartoon.
Yeah buddy, got some bad news for ya…
I’d be quite annoyed, too, if a law firm kept wasting my toner and bandwidth with furry art
I occasionally do scale drawings for my job, and I occasionally have to remind my coworker that her nice pretty colorized drawings will look fucking atrocious when printed in greyscale on a shitty laser printer. She likes to color code things to make it easier to communicate info… But that often ends up making things harder on the crews who are actually executing things. Because when she used color to communicate something, but the entire drawing is printed in shades of grey to hand a hard copy to the crew, it becomes fucking impossible to actually follow the drawing.
For instance… The yellow circle is the one we need done today. Here’s what she draws:
Except here’s what the crew receives:
Now imagine if this was a watermark on every page of a 50 page court filing, which then gets printed out for the judge. Now they’re seeing text on the grey background, which likely makes it harder to read and is a massive waste of toner. It also massively inflates pdf file sizes, because you’re sending that image on every single page.
You got me curious now. What would you prefer them to waste your tonor and bandwidth on?
Nothing :)
It seemed random until I saw the law firm’s name is Dragon Lawyers
As though they have some legitimate and non-random reason to name themselves “Dragon Lawyers”?
I don’t know about the name, but they are staying on-brand
American courts ARE a cartoon, and their role is Wile E. Coyote, whereas the Roadrunner is played by the 1%.
“Ooh, almost got him! Maybe next time.”
Literally 1984
Illegible when photocopied.
Kind of a harsh and severe way of dealing with it.
What’s harsh about “cut your bullshit, this is a courtroom”?
Nobody’s going to jail, they just have to stop sending cartoons.
I’m willing to lower my standards for describing a ruling with synonyms for “draconian” when there’s a dragon involved.
Named after a Greek, not a dragon
I’m willing to lower my standards for calling a Greek a dragon too. Not something I’d necessarily do in the courtroom but in the comments of a !mildlyinteresting@lemmy.world post, sure.
It also makes for a waste of ink, for those judges and lawyers who are more comfortable with hard copies.

Now it all makes sense, dinosaurs (particularly the Brontosaurus) have a long-standing feud with dragons for stealing their thunder.
Also:
Telling them to stop doing it, without punishing anyone in any way, is a severe way of dealing with it?
What?
Please don’t ever get into hard labor, you would burn out in like under a minute if you think this is harsh
To be clear, you believe that my comment about the ruling being draconian is sincere in spite of the other replies here?
Hah, draconian
Baited and outsmarted
Can they at least keep it as the logo? That’s a very trustworthy, confident looking dragon, after all.
Lame
I’d absolutely use a lawyer that put a badass dragon on every page
