Andrew Giuliani's Lawsuit Against Duke Dismissed

The really strange saga of Andrew Giuliani's lawsuit against Duke University after he got thrown off the golf team at Duke ended with a district court judge dismissing the case. The opinion quotes Caddyshack which seems a fitting way to end a completely bizarre case on so many levels.

I would like to include humor in written legal opinions to my blog post yesterday about why humor and courtrooms don't mix. The reasoning behind the post does not apply because it is a lot easier to be funny in a written legal opinion then when you are standing in front of a jury. But both should be avoided.

This case hasn't done much for law or the sport, but it sure has revived the Golf Joke.
