Pearson v. Chung, also known as the "$54 million pants" case, is a civil case filed in 2005 by Judge Roy L. Pearson. Pearson was, at the time, an administrative law judge in the District of Columbia. Pearson filed suit against the owners of Custom Cleaners in Washington, D.C.—Soo, Jin Nam and Ki Y. Chung—for allegedly losing his pants. Insisting that Custom Cleaners had failed to fulfil the "satisfaction guaranteed" by a sign in the store, Pearson requested $67 million for inconvenience, mental anguish, and attorney's fees. He also represented himself. The Chungs presented three settlement offers in the amounts of $3000, $4600, and $12,000, which were rejected by Pearson. During trial, Pearson broke down in tears while detailing the frustration caused by losing his pants.

  • Pearson v. Chung, also known as the "$54 million pants" case, is a civil case filed in 2005 by Judge Roy L. Pearson. Pearson was, at the time, an administrative law judge in the District of Columbia. Pearson filed suit against the owners of Custom Cleaners in Washington, D.C.—Soo, Jin Nam and Ki Y. Chung—for allegedly losing his pants. Insisting that Custom Cleaners had failed to fulfil the "satisfaction guaranteed" by a sign in the store, Pearson requested $67 million for inconvenience, mental anguish, and attorney's fees. He also represented himself. The Chungs presented three settlement offers in the amounts of $3000, $4600, and $12,000, which were rejected by Pearson. During trial, Pearson broke down in tears while detailing the frustration caused by losing his pants. Pearson lost the case and subsequent appeal. In the appeal, he argued that the presiding judge had failed to address his legal claims. As a result of the trial, a panel recommended that Pearson not be offered the standard ten year appointment; although still a member of the bar, he no longer serves as a judge. The Chungs made a motion to recover their legal fees, but withdrew it following the conclusion of a successful fundraising campaign. The case drew international attention when it went to trial in 2007, and has been held as an example of frivolous litigation and the need for tort reform in the United States. Pearson was widely ridiculed in the press, and was given the nickname "Judge Fancy Pants". (en)
