Judge James M. Rosenbaum is known to occasionally wield the pen as a sword (or, in Minnesotan spirit and consistent with his metaphor of attorneys as remoras, as a fish gutting knife?).
Judge Rosenbaum’s recent response to a request for attorneys’ fees in the UHG class action litigation cut deeply. He denied the request for an award of fees to lawyers who objected to the initial plaintiffs’ lawyers fee request (where the bonanza of attorneys’ fees has been already reported).
