Another example of how the legal system is abused.....utterly pathetic. I sometimes wonder why anyone wants to undertake the risk of starting a new busines in this country with people like Hirsh.

latimes.com

Excerpt:

A former professor described Hirsh as a "nice person who seemed sincere." Several former classmates, who requested anonymity, fearing that they might be sued, remembered Hirsh as a class pariah who reveled in being a contrarian.
"He was feisty and always ready to challenge the professors," said one New York attorney. "He was brazen . . . that his goal was to get a law degree to make money."



The guy doesn't sound too bright:

In August 1997, Hirsh sued Massachusetts Life Insurance Co., claiming that two years earlier the insurer's agents had advised him to buy a life insurance policy, even though he wanted to purchase Microsoft stock.
