One of the many problems in the US court system is the lack of proof-of-work required to file complaints or motions.
A licensed attorney with find + replace can easily copy another party's filings and give you big legal bills in the process.

is too high for frivolous motions and complaints, imo.
In the UK, the loser pays the winner's legal bills.
In the US, that only happens if you can show the other side acted in bad faith. It's too hard to do.

This was just filed against my company. They want to dismiss the lawsuit for lack of personal jurisdiction. They filed a very well cited 9 page motion to dismiss... 
Only problem is...
How are you going to dismiss a lawsuit that closed 11 months ago? We already have a judgment against this guy.
Did that attorney really write 9 pages of heavy law and not check that?
This is legal copypasta!

Now, I have to reengage my attorney, pay a retainer, and then they're not going to want to file a simple "uh, this is a closed case" because that's not how money is made.
It's a big headache, all because some lawyer filed a pointless copypasta.

I made a mistake. He filed separate motion to set aside the judgment against him, so we will need to address this properly. I still know it was a copypasta though.
