When I moved here a couple of years ago, I knew nobody in the area. So, I got involved in temple organizations and local politics, which have a lot of co-mingling.

If the mistakes are minor and obvious I usually just correct them in the quote, which I think is somewhere in our state style guide. I'm the friendliest lawyer.

Soothing Vapors posted:yeah, but we're not prosecutors, so we exist in a world of consequences for our actions The problem is that the consequences are such that the original state of the ADR ("go gently caress yourself") is not appreciably different after I snark at opposing counsel ("with a traffic cone.") So I might as well.

The mistakes are more along the lines of "Jesus Christ, how did this make it out of the editing stage?" Correcting them would require substantive rewrites. Especially in habeas briefs because most of them are subcontracted out to hacks running puppy mill teams of recent grads who churn out poo poo, then bill the state $75/hr for said poo poo pile. Hey Toona, job opportunity! Soothing Vapors posted:yeah, but we're not prosecutors, so we exist in a world of consequences for our actions Don't hate the player, hate the game.

Personally, if I were dictator Queen willful prosecutorial misconduct (as distinguished from "OMG YOU USED THE WORD VICTIM ONCE EVEN THOUGH THE SUPREME COURT SAYS YOU CAN'T SAY VICTIM!!!! MISCONDUCT!!!!! which are the bulk of our "misconduct" claims) would be a felony with a maximum sentence equal to the sentence the defendant faced.

Now I went to my court hearing and told the district judge that the attorney I'm filling in for is bald and ugly and she agreed and laughed. This is why I get paid the small bucks.

I like #2 personallyHammurabi posted:2. If any one bring an accusation against a man, and the accused go to the river and leap into the river, if he sink in the river his accuser shall take possession of his house. But if the river prove that the accused is not guilty, and he escape unhurt, then he who had brought the accusation shall be put to death, while he who leaped into the river shall take possession of the house that had belonged to his accuser. e: five would be pretty sweet too, I must say Hammurabi posted:5. If a judge try a case, reach a decision, and present his judgment in writing; if later error shall appear in his decision, and it be through his own fault, then he shall pay twelve times the fine set by him in the case, and he shall be publicly removed from the judge's bench, and never again shall he sit there to render judgement.

I've been editing a case to contribute to a textbook on current controversies in the law (a friend is the editor). My instructions were to pick a SCOTUS case, edit down the majority/dissent, add a few paragraphs of background to the front and conclusion to the rear. For this weekend task I am being paid a few hundred dollars; every year, new cases must be contributed because that is how the publisher eliminates the resale market for public domain information. ~*~hooray~*~
