Ed faces off against former employer
in court
|
|
With a crackpot team of lawyers by his side, Ed goes to court over a
contract scrawled on a bar napkin by four high school buddies. When one
of the friends strikes it rich and denies the contract, he hires a
big-city law firm as his counsel - which just happens to be the same
firm that fired Ed. |
|
|
Ed takes the case for
the three down-on-their-luck friends - Lou, Ernie and Bob - who made a
pact in high school with the fourth friend Arthur Daly that should any
of them get rich, they would all share the wealth. Arthur has a $100
million computer business and the contract was written on a bar napkin. |

Ed finds that all's
fair in love and war - and law |
|
Ed gladly represents a lovable loser (guest star Shuler
Hensley) who is sued by a woman for breach of privacy after
she rejected his romantic overtures and found her photo posted on his
web site - but the case is unduly complicated when a renowned lawyer
with his own agenda asks to partner with Ed. |
|
| Ed agrees to help Bob
Arnowicz, a local
Staples clerk, who is being sued over his website, which tells the tales
of all the women who have rejected him. Bob has been posting his
exploits with rejections by women on the Internet, and last month got
half a million hits! One of the women who rejected him is suing for
$50,000 over invasion of privacy. |
|
| Court TV attorney Gary Saringo has
different plans - deliberately losing all the way to the Supreme Court
to make this a landmark case about free speech on the Internet.
Initially, Bob wants Saringo, but in court, seeing his method, asks Ed
to step in for a closing argument. Ed's closing statement causes a
courtroom brouhaha, a mis-trial is declared, and the plaintiffs drop the
case.
