Is threatening a lawsuit considered coercion?
Well the thing is Coercion is not a black/white matter.Its a defense in court.Like Pleading Insanity.Or Fair Use. (I could write a book on how people don’t understand fair use)In general threatening a lawsuit is not Coercion but It CAN BE.You would need to prove that the threat was based on#1: A lawsuit with no real basis.#2: Was more about the monetary or moral effect of the lawsuit. Not the threat of actually losing it.If they threaten to drag your name through the mud, or run you out of money with a lawsuit. It’s 100% Coercion, and if you have proof, you should go ahead and slam dunk there ass in court.
Someone threatened to sue me, just to cost me court fees, and admitted it. What do I do?
Well, if they “threatened to sue you” and didn’t sue you, you don’t have any court fees.Furthermore, the plaintiff has to pay the filing fee up front, the defendant only has to pay it if the court adds it to the judgment, which it won’t if the person has no real case and you win.You’re quite safe ignoring the person unless and until they sue you. If they do sue you, keep your text message and show it to the judge, or file a counterclaim for abuse of process as is appropriate.Your best bet, though, is to get an opinion from a lawyer in your court, not from Quora. There should be a boilerplate warning on any question about legal procedure to the effect that legal procedure varies by jurisdiction and answers here can be representative at best, never exhaustive. In other words, there is no one-size-fits-all answer except “go see your own lawyer.”

The school janitor slapped me should i tell my dad about it?
Tell him. But if you think your dad might say you deserve it, then I take it your dad hits you too. You need to be careful then that you don't get a second punishment. Edit: Wait, what? He wanted you to take your top off? That sounds very fishy to me. You should definitely tell your dad, mention that bit too.
Is it unethical to threaten someone with small claim court?
No, not at all. A fair, effective court system is inevitably expensive. It’s not realistic for the cost to be born by anyone except the litigants. Sensible people should do everything possible to resolve their disputes without going to court. Generally, it would be unwise and unethical not to forewarn the person you are in a dispute with that you a considering suing them. One major exception is if you know you are in the wrong, but hope they will pay a figure likely to be less than the cost of mounting a defense in court. Since there are unethical people who do this, the courts need to do a good job of ending frivolous suits quickly, and putting all the cost on the plaintiff.
Do nurse anesthesiasts get sued?
Anyone in any medical field has the potential to be sued. A Nurse Anesthesiasts, which I think is spelled wrong, but anyway they like regular Anestesiologists a rate of being sued. WHY? Because a nick name for what they do is the GOD SEAT, becuase they hold life and death in their hands, mix things wrong and you kill the patient instead of just putting them under. Now days people are sue happy and actually look for any tiny mistake as a change to sue; they think they are just sueing the person's insurance backer, but they are putting a black mark in that persons record, even if the person isn't fired. If you won't want to deal with law suits, stay out of any medical field, including dentristy. If you like medicine, then go into it but do not get caught up in the lies and games that go on in medicine. Those who get sued the most are arogent people who do not listen well to their patients, over work, work while drunk, drugged or sleepy and don't take their time with patients. I knew a doctor who said he'd never even had someone threaten to sue him; which most doctors do. He said, it was because he learned early on to treat everyone, no manner how they acted wtih respect, to listen well, not write of things patients told them as being all in their head and to take his time, not over book his schedule. Whatever you choose to do in life, there will be risks and with people so sue happy, there is always a risk that someone will sue over something real you did wrong or something they feel you should have done and didn't do. Good luck
Can a judge threaten you to accept a pre-trial recommendation with attorney fees if it goes to trial?
A judge is not “threatening” you if he/she warns you about what might happen if you persist in your conduct. This warning gives you a heads up on what might be in store for a civil case, not a criminal action.Most, if not all, states have laws that will allow the defending parties to collect their attorneys’ fees from the suing parties under certain circumstances if the suing parties lose their case. One of the most common circumstances involves the bringing or continuation of a “frivolous” lawsuit or defense to a lawsuit, i.e., one that has little or no legal basis. It’s possible the judge you encountered did not think your chances of winning were good, and did not think highly of the merits. While people who sue or defend may feel very strongly about the validity of their cases, the law may not be favorable to them. As I’ve often had to counsel people, what X did to you may mean, immoral and unethical but not illegal.
