Professor Glannon Civil Procedure: Rule 11
Here is a case from my Civil Procedure course which explains Rule 11, which are sanctions against lawyers for poor trial preparedness. In this case, bringing a frivolous law suit to court can cost a lawyer her job.
Case Name, Citation Number, Author
Hunter v. EarthGrains Co. Bakery, United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (281 F.3d 144 (4th Cir. 2002)
Procedural History
Plaintiffs lawyer brought a class action on behalf of minority employees of a bakery that was eventually closed. Complaint included claims for employment discrimination against the bakery etc. The district court granted summary judgment to the defendant on both the merits and the arbitration defense. The court then issued an order (sua sponte) to the plaintiffs’ lawyer to show cause that she should not be sanctioned under Rule 11. Ultimately the court suspended the lawyer from practice in the federal district courts for five years.
Facts
–Civil rights lawyer brought a class action suit against bakery for employment discrimination and fraudulent misrepresentations in connection with its shut down
–Defendant denied the allegations and argued that the law suit was precluded because the class discrimination claims were subject to binding arbitration under a collective bargaining agreement.
–The court then issued an order to the plaintiffs’ lawyer to show cause why she should not be sanctioned under Rule 11.
Issue
Is the Civil Rights lawyer subject to sanctions under Rule 11?
Holding
Yes, because Hunter (plaintiff’s lawyer) advanced a frivolous legal position.
Reasoning
–Austin was incorrectly decided.
–No existing
Rule
Plaintiff theory must be warranted by existing law
Disposition
Suspension from practice vacated
Notes
Rule 11(b)(2): The claims, defenses, and other legal contention are warranted by existing law or by a non-frivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law;
Prince’s Takeaway
Have existing law to support your legal contentions before you present it in court. Not correctly warranting to an existing law, under a legal theory, you will violate Rule 11(b)(2) and be suspended. Rule 11(c).

Trujillo Contracts: Vague Terms
Here is a case from my Contracts class which explains the concept of Vague Terms. And in this case, there are evidently two different meanings of “what is a chicken?”
Case Name, Citation Number, Author
Frigaliment Importing Co. v. B.N.S. International Sales Corp, 22 Ill.190 F. Supp. 116 (S.D.N.Y. 1960)
Procedural History
Plaintiff (Frigaliment) sues Defendant (BNS International Sales Corp) for not complying with the weight requirements of the contract. But more so for not complying with the term “Chicken”–which to them means “young chicken.”
Facts
–Defendant contacted to sell chickens to Plaintiff.
–The contract stated that the Defendant would be selling specified amounts of 2 1/2-3lb chickens and 1 1/2-2lb chickens.
–When the first shipment was sent, the Plaintiff found that the heavier chickens were not “young” and were not suitable for broiling or frying–only stewing.
–The parties then disagreed as to what the term “chicken” means in the contract
Issue
What is a Chicken?
Holding
Chicken in the contract does not mean only younger chickens
Reasoning
–Since the Defendant’s definition coincided with one or more the objective meaning of: (1) Language of the contract, (2) Negotiation history, (3) Industry standards (4) Applicable governmental regulations (5) Conduct of the parties after making the contract (6) Transactional context, the Plaintiff did not meet its burden of showing that the narrower definition of the term (younger chicken) applies.
–The objective meaning of chicken, from the Defendant, coincides with the dictionary definition, Department of Agriculture’s regulations, some trade usage, the realities of the market, etc.
Rule
Restatements 201″Whose Meaning prevails”: To determine or prove what the parties knew, or should have known, of the other’s meaning we look at:
(1) Language of the contract
(2) Negotiation history
(3) Industry standards
(4) Applicable governmental regulations
(5) Conduct of the parties after making the contract
(6) Transactional context
Disposition
Complaint dismissed
Notes
Restatements 201 (1): Where the parties have attached the same meaning to a promise or agreement or a term thereof, it is interpreted in accordance with that meaning.
(2) Where the parties have attached different meanings to a promise or agreement or a term thereof, it is interpreted in accordance with the meaning attached by one of them if at the time the agreement was made (a) that party did not know of any different meaning attached by the other, and the other knew the meaning attached by the first party; or (b) that party had no reason to know of any different meaning attached by the other, and the other had reason to know the meaning attached by the first party.
(3) Except as stated in this Section, neither party is bound by the meaning attached by the other, even though the result may be a failure of mutual assent.
Prince’s Takeaway
As silly as this does sound, this is a clear example (in contracts) of a term with a clear core meaning, but a meaning beyond the clear core meaning. I hope that is clear? 🙂
