This. It always surprises me that the partner and client think that we need to file a 12(b)(6). We spend all of this money drafting this thing and even if we win the plaintiff refiles in a week with a slightly less shitty complaint.

Clerk on d.ct. and you'll love Twombly/Iqbal. The only criticisms I see are the garden-variety "this will deter justice and let people get away with harming poor people." No, it won't. If you were hurt, plead some specific fucking facts about who/when/where. If you can't even come up with that, then you shouldn't be filing a lawsuit in the first place.

He'd only be fucking them over if he knew their complaints should have passed 12(b)(6) but he dismisses them anyway, or if he somehow *knew* that there was a meritorious claim but he dismissed it anyway. Neither of these ever happened.

Judges don't fuck plaintiffs over with Iqbal/Twombly. Their lawyers fuck them over. And if the second/third/whatever amended complaint still can't come up with a decent story with specifics, then I would never feel bad tossing the suit.

Does your Judge--when reviewing the initial complaint filed through PACER--ever suggest how he is going to decide the case? Like does your judge decide cases on the basis of fairness and justice? Or does he try to stick to the letter of the law?

If we had a conversation about a complaint before an MTD was filed and briefed by both sides, he usually wouldn't suggest how he'd decide unless it was pretty obvious that the complaint should be dismissed.

I think every judge tries to follow the letter of the law. Fairness/justice is very hard to discern in civil litigation because everyone's out to make a buck. In crim cases he'd make the gov't attorneys do their work and wouldn't try to find some excuse to screw over the defendant. He was a somewhat conservative guy but he didn't care if that meant the bad guy goes free--his attitude seemed to be "whatever, another shithead back in the drug trade, just another drop in the bucket."
