Took a stroll the other night, to witness the latest depredation of imperial occupation present in my hometown, this thing: This is apparently one of the smaller ones, but it looked fuckoff huge to me. Filled to the brim with crayons, apparently, or so someone remarked. Got a nice surprise, just as I was walking out a loving huge hoverboat tore out of the rear end end of it, pretty interesting stuff. You guys just do have the best toys. And you haven't collided with anyone and sunk poo poo either, which is more than you can say for the norwegian navy. Good work? Also, I had a great weekend at the cabin, when you guys coming to visit? Nice piece of fish posted:Hello again, friends! Thought I'd post a quick experience from lovely late autumn in the mountains.

Here in Dallas County, a Judge excluded expert witness testimony which killed a Plaintiff's case. That was enough for the Plaintiff's bar to run a 30 year old against him. He won't be on the bench after Dec. 31. Given that I'm on the Defense side now, that seems.... Bad.

I'm not gonna say anything about court 1. My boss is in week 2 of a 2 week trial that could have been done in 3 days. ^^^ can you edit your quote that has the judges name in it? I wasn't thinking.

Done with my second interview. Went pretty well as far as I could tell, I had a case presentation and I don't know if they are used to my kind of lawyering because they looked kind of taken aback and didn't have any questions because I mentioned everything they'd thought about. Which is either really good or really bad. We laughed a little as well, which was nice. It's down to the final five so here's hoping.

Because most attorneys call that "Tuesday."

One of my relatives just started AA for binge drinking reasons and my initial reaction to their consumption was "that doesn't sound like all that much really, even for a Tuesday" The real downside for me is now I can't have alcohol at family events which is gonna be really rough . Maybe I bring a secret flask?

I submitted an 8 page motion to a judge yesterday when every example that’s ever been submitted in the past two years was less than two. Granted those were felony and this is misdemeanor so it’s different levels of court with completely elected judges. It’s only got my name at the bottom, though, so I’m not sure how it’s going to pan out.

unless you have intel indicating that your judge has a demonstrated ability and willingness to read, just do what I do and assume all state court judges are illiterate children who will never even consider looking at your motion papers last time I was in state court, about a year and a half into the case the judge asked me in chambers if I'd ever heard of this hot new case that he thought might be on point. I had briefed that case extensively in a a motion to dismiss, summary brief, a reply brief, and a supplemental brief. we're talking probably 10 pages of briefing on my side devoted exclusively to that case, and another 10 on plaintiff's side.

The standard here for anything to be filed to court is for it to be as short and succinct as humanly possible A statement of claim over 7 pages is not good, one over 10 pages is useless 5/7 pages for appellate briefs 3/4 for cassation 2 pages to the Supreme Court (you literally name the parties and say "the big question in the case is X", for reasoning see annexes 1, 2 etc.) Briefs to the Constitutional Court can be as long as needed, the ones screened by the clerks will be read by at least one of the judges, because there's always one judge who has to "report" the case (i.e. give a brief explanation of the facts and the positions of the parties before giving the floor to the applicant)

Alexeythegreat posted:The standard here for anything to be filed to court is for it to be as short and succinct as humanly possible We're actually compelled on penalty of dismissal to file a finalizing motion no less than two weeks before trial wherein the entire case is summarized in about a single page which the judge will often read when court is seated. It's actually a good thing, I guess, but it's often the only loving thing the judges bother to read out of all the motions. Which is why I've had to argue out preliminary procedural objections during main trial. So stupid.

Boss insisted I break down every factor that the court has to look at including all of the elements of the offense. It’s as succinct as possible considering that was my guideline, and it’s extremely well cited. I’ll find out in a couple of hours i’m sure.

My favorite fact from that is that apparently 7% of law firm leaders don’t believe lawyers at their firm experience anxiety.

The first page and maybe a half of a motion should be for the court. Everything better be there. The other pages are so you make your record.
