How to use plaintiff in a sentence?

1. Steve Berman:

   For decades, USC has silenced the women who were violated in unspeakable ways by Dr. Tyndall, willfully ignoring the alarming complaints from nurses and patients as more and more students were sent into his office, our plaintiff and other women have bravely stepped forward to report these heinous acts, and through this lawsuit, we intend to hold defendants accountable.

2. Cicero:

   When you have no basis of argument, abuse the plaintiff.

3. Brett Kavanaugh:

   A good judge must be an umpire – a neutral and impartial arbiter who favors no litigant or policy, i don’t decide cases based on personal or policy preferences. I am not a pro-plaintiff or pro-defendant judge. I am not a pro-prosecution or pro-defense judge. I am a pro-law judge.

4. Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel:

   In a way very similar how a plaintiff’s lawyer on contingency would do it.

5. Yar Chaikovsky:

   The calculation of damages needs reform in patent law. We need some method of damages apportionment similar to what is making its way through Congress. As most of the companies I represent are in the high tech arena, the market capture rule, especially in cases where the plaintiff solely seeks a reasonable royalty, is problematic."
