Sure. And I also imagine that a fair number of them are just using a form/card that they also use in the 49 states where expiration dates are not invalid.

The Wall St. Journal's Law Blog is having a sort of contest re law-related vanity plates. Here are three of the submissions so far:

  • Bill Marler of Seattle’s Marler Clark has filed two lawsuits in the Taco Bell E. coli outbreak and he’s expected to file another one today in New Jersey. Yesterday on his blog, Marler gave his readers a history of tacos and E. coli. The Law Blog co-wrote a feature on Marler for the WSJ this summer during the spinach E. coli outbreak, and our crack co-author Heather Won Tesoriero discovered that the license plates on his wife’s green Volkswagen read “ECOLI.”

Marler made his career (and started his own firm) in the original Jack in the Box and Odwalla e-coli cases.

He has framed copies of (eight figure) settlement checks on the walls of his office space. Ultra-cheesy.

my last large settlement I resisted getting the $$$ wired because I wanted to have a copy of the check. everyone insisted on wiring it though and I couldn't argue because my sole reason for the check was arguably selfish.

Isn't that the coin of the realm? I'm sure Larry Tribe has pictures (or sketches) of him arguing before the Supreme Court, as well as framed briefs and such things. Accomplishments in the plaintiffs' world are often measured in $$

Really? Framed sketches of arguing before the SCt? Framed briefs?

Those litigators are a weird bunch.

You haven't seen these? (Actually, cover pages of briefs, rather than decisions, but same point). Personally, I prefer things like engraved baseball bats or golf clubs for deals with nothing to do with baseball or golf.
