Daddio: 11/18/10 Blog of the Day

For today's blog of the day, I want you to pretend to be a lawyer!  Pick someone or some company and sue them over something.  First, pick any person or business or company that you feel has somehow done you wrong somehow-- if you can't think of a real example, then make something up.  Then, for the first paragraph of your post, write the name of the person or business you're going to sue, the reason you are going to sue them (what they did wrong to you) and what damages you're seeking in your lawsuit (are you seeking money or to have the other person ordered to do something?).

In the second paragraph of your post, I want you to make your opening argument to the jury (the men and women that will decide if you are going to win your case).  You can tell them whatever you want, but it should try to persuade them that you are right and they should give you what you want.  It should start, "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury..."
