Judge Kathy Flanagan – who used to be a teacher in the Chicago public schools – wanted to send a lesson to some local lawyers about their two pre-lawsuit discovery petitions filed in her court over a still-missing Malaysia Airlines plane.
The well-known Cook County Circuit Court judge tossed out the petitions and warned Chicago's Ribbeck Law Chartered if similar actions continue she would impose “sanctions” against them.
Flanagan dismissed one petition on Friday and the other petition on Monday, her office confirmed to InsideCounsel on Monday.
