It’s just like sports. You want to work the refs, not puts them off. More importantly, you want to stay on the good side of the judge’s staff.Lem wrote: ↑Mon Jan 04, 2021 7:19 pm
I can only imagine. I mean, you want judges to be unbiased, but I would think it's the same concept as in sports, right? There is absolutely no benefit whatsoever to unnecessarily irritating the refs!!
Not being a lawyer, serious question to our in house counsel, as it were. Who is writing this stuff? I am imagining that established, good lawyers are politely refusing to touch this with a 10 foot pole, and so the white house is getting lesser known, nothing to lose lawyers who have decided 'throwing a hail Mary with the teensiest chance of succeeding' is their best career choice at the moment. Am I right? Or is it just speed that prevents these authors from having one of their baby interns run spell check before they send this stuff to court?
The lawyers in these suits have been playing musical chairs, so it’s hard to say who is doing what sometimes. Initially, Trump had top notch lawyers, but they withdrew after Rudy and Sidney started holding press conferences. Sidney Powell has a boutique appellate practice, so she likely didn’t have the resources to throw at four huge federal cases at the same time. The Amistad lawyers were particularly bad. I haven’t heard anything about the guy who filed the current lawsuit.
I proof my pleadings by having the computer read them aloud to me. Then my secretary, who is excellent, proofs them. Then I have another lawyer working on the case proof and edit. Some of the pleadings in these cases look like no ones ever proved them. Sure, they’re pressed for time, but not having enough time is chronic in litigation.
