Here's a practice note for the attorneys out there that I know are reading this site: When you win and think you're going to get fees and costs, don't get greedy and double-check your math.

Why? Because there are some things that you don't really want a judge to say about you in a decision. Among those are these gems all of which are found in this Order granting the Defendants $111,440.00 in attorneys' fees and costs of court:

DECLARATION OF ERIC P. BLANK IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS

I, Eric P. Blank, declare and testify as follows:

Having won the Motion for Summary Judgment, Virtumundo now turns to the important task of recouping its attorneys' fees and court costs. For those of you NOT in the US, the award of fees and costs is something which is not automatic. Generally each side is supposed to pay its own way. But there are exceptions, and the CAN-SPAM Act and the Washington Commercial E-Mail Act (CEMA) both provide for attorney fee awards.
