One more round today in the continuing downward spiral of controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson. Today the Florida Supreme Court sanctioned Mr. Thompson after he failed to prove that they shouldn’t through his recent “show cause” order. So what does all this law jargon mean exactly? Well the long and short of it is that Thompson will no longer be able to file cases directly to the courts but instead will have to hire another lawyer to do so on his behalf. While this move won’t completely muzzle the outspoken Thompson, it will certainly make it difficult for him to bring more of his frivolous lawsuits to the court’s attention. Bear in mind that this is a separate issue from his disbarment trial which is currently in the works.

BREAKING – Florida Supreme Court Sanctions Jack Thompson {GamePolitics]
It’s been a roller coaster ride of a year for embattled Miami attorney Jack Thompson. Being the most maligned person in the gaming industry (besides whoever made the ET game) can’t be an easy job. Even now he is fighting to keep his license after a series of behaviors that have left the worlds of gaming and law wondering “What the hell is this guy’s problem?” So it should come as no surprise to anyone that ol’ JT has decided to stir up some more trouble as a last ditch effort to be the guy with the most outrageous lawsuits of 2007.
