Pants suit judge still on the job

D.C. Administrative Law Judge Roy Pearson, the jurist who brought international ridicule to the D.C. judicial system when he sued a dry cleaner over lost pants, remains employed by the District while a five-person panel waits to see what he has to say for himself.

Pearson’s term expired in April. Two months ago, after a series of delays, D.C.’s administrative law commission notified him that his job was in jeopardy.
