Drafting contracts can be stressful but this lawyer really takes the price.

In an clinical trial agreement with Johns Hopkins University, the lawyer drafting the contract must have been really stressed.

The final sentence goes,

This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland (excepting any conflict of laws provisions which would serve to defeat application of Maryland substantive law), Each of the Parties hereto agrees to venue in and submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and/or federal courts located within the State of Maryland for any Shit, hearing or other legal proceeding of every nature, kind and description whatsoever in the event of any dispute or controversy arising hereunder or relating hereto, or in the event any ruling, finding or other legal determination is required or desired hereunder.

Any Shit? Shit, with a capital “S”? This lawyer is serious and he knows street talk well. He is ready to handle things very seriously if there are issues.

The moral better watch out when you are working with Johns Hopkins because there better not be any Shit.
