Maryland law firm Joseph Greenwald & Laake dodged the bullet and a $350 million judgment against a claim that one of its attorneys, Stephen Friedman, had improperly copied 800 pages of a travel software program and leaked it to competitors. A U.S. District Court judge dismissed the lawsuit after he discovered that the case was launched by the husband of the woman who wrote the software package to gain leverage over his estranged wife in upcoming divorce proceedings.
No, we are not kidding.
