    This is from law.com website:

    The American Association for Justice, the renamed Association of Trial Lawyers of America, filed an ethics complaint against Pearson last week with the D.C. Bar.

    This isn’t the first time Pearson has filed tons of documents and demanded payment in a court case. Just ask his ex-wife. In 2005, the Virginia Court of Appeals denied Pearson’s appeal seeking at least $10,000 in spousal support in his divorce from Rhonda VanLowe, legal counsel for Rolls-Royce North America. Pearson wanted VanLowe to help support him because he was receiving unemployment benefits in 2003 before he was appointed as an administrative law judge in 2005.

    The trial judge also had ordered him to pay $12,000 in legal fees to VanLowe because Pearson excessively drove up legal costs by “creating unnecessary litigation” and threatening both VanLowe and her lawyer with disbarment, the appeals ruling stated.

    Since our constipated legal system that has hamstrung itself by attempting to use out-dated laws that favor plaintiffs doesn’t seem to offer any relief in this case, perhaps Mr. Pearson would benefit an informal “counselling session” on the street.

    That just doesn’t give you a very confident feeling in our legal system when you hear that your judge was collecting unemployment benefits.
