Made up concept which is not referred to in either the current sources in the article or any others which I can find. Rangoon11 (talk) 15:46, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This is a commonly used term in general legal discourse, will try to find further cross-references - had thought it was referred to in at least some of the articles linked. Dooley (talk) 17:21, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as a possible hoax besides being a nonnotable neologism. The article appears to be the result, somehow, of a prank by someone trying to get this term adopted, and that the next level down would be the "magenta circle law firm." Persons on the board referred to "secret missions" such as multiply posting the word "moist." They even discuss this Wikipedia entry,and this AFD, so some sock input is to be expected in this AFD, per a request on that board:[1]. One ref is a deadlink, another makes no mention of "bronze medallion" and the third only has it in an anonymous comment accompanying an article, which may be part of the same effort.

Agreed, it looks like a prank, and the discussion which you have have linked to seems to confirm that feeling. I am therefore changing to Speedy delete too.Rangoon11 (talk) 19:00, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
