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.
