The courts may be closed for Veterans Day but there's still some interesting legal news brewing...
Take the case of Corri Fetman. You may recall a billboard in town in 2007 that read "Life's short. Get a divorce."
The billboard was for Fetman's law firm and the torso of the scantily clad lady in the ad belonged to Fetman. This all led, of course, to the following:
1. A lot of media attention
2. A pictorial in Playboy
3. A weekly column for Playboy.com as the "Lawyer of Love"
4. Sexual advances from a Playboy exec allegedly leading to the weekly column being yanked when said exec is rebuffed
5. A sexual harassment suit
6. Fetman tries to patent "Lawyer of Love" and Playboy is saying NO, leading to the current lawsuit
Read more about the trademark lawsuit here and here.
Check back here for both the sexual harassment complaint and the complaint regarding the current trademark dispute.
In the meantime, because life always has a funny way of working out, Fetman is now Chicago Now's very own Love Lawyer. Read her blog here.

I predicted elsewhere that this one would show up here, for no other reason than Feltman being another Chicago Now blogger.
In the meantime, I will be waiting for whether either complaint has a pictorial Exhibit A attached and incorporated by reference herein.
