| Description | This case was in the news in mid-October, but I just got a scanned version of the transcript, and I think it's much worth reading. I have a PDF here, but I thought I'd include the full text:
Ginnah Muhammad d/b/a Sisters of Second Chance v. Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Small Claims Hearing before Judge Paul J. Paruk, Hamtramck, Michigan, Oct. 11, 2006:
THE COURT: Hi, good morning, everybody. I am going to handle a small claims matter first and then I'll do a couple of landlord-tenant cases. Is it Ginnnah Muhammad and Enterprise Rent-A-Car? Who is who? I need one person from Enterprise. Come on up and stand over here on the right-hand side, please, for me.
Are you Ginnnah Muhammad?
[MUHAMMAD]: Yes, sir.
THE COURT: You need to stand over there. Ms. Muhammad, did my court officer talk with you about taking your veil off?
[MUHAMMAD]: Yes, sir.
THE COURT: Okay, and what is your suggestion or what are your thoughts on that?
[MUHAMMAD]: I said, "No, I can't."
THE COURT: Well, let me explain to you why I think you have to do it and then you tell me why you don't have to do it and then we'll try and make a decision as to how to proceed.
[MUHAMMAD]: Yes, sir. |
