Spell-checking on his computer is never going to be the same for Santa Cruz solo Arthur Dudley. In an opening brief to a California appellate court, Dudley's use of a search-and-replace command inserted "sea sponge" instead of the legal term "sua sponte," leading to such classic statements as, "It is well settled that a trial court must instruct sea sponge on any defense, including a mistake of fact defense." Will SpongeBob be filing an amicus brief?

Spell-checking on his computer is never going to be the same for Santa Cruz solo practitioner Arthur Dudley.
In an opening brief to San Francisco’s 1st District Court of Appeal, a search-and-replace command by Dudley inexplicably inserted the words “sea sponge” instead of the legal term “sua sponte,” which is Latin for “on its own motion.”
