Last week, we learned about a federal judge who dug deep into her popular culture library to cite Woody Allen's 1977 Annie Hall when granting a BigLaw firm more deposition time.
The joke: "Two elderly women are at a Catskill mountain resort, and one of 'em says, 'Boy, the food at this place is really terrible.' The other one says, 'Yeah, I know; and such small portions.' "
This made us wonder how often judges use similar references in decisions and footnotes. With Oscar season under way, tell us...
