^^^ But they do a lot of it, which is the point. Not to provide quality representation, just the most of it. Soothing Vapors posted:whoever let Kirkland draft the order should be disbarred Was never a litigator, but isn't one of the litigants drafting the order standard practice? Especially for a mass tort case like BP?

evilweasel posted:another fun fact about kirkland: their real partners are not human When a lawyer reaches its corporate form I’m a big fan of sending lawyers letters that say “here is what I wanted to do, unless you advise otherwise I will assume you agree.” Even better if this is buried in three pages of other garbage. Though granted this works a lot better with idiot plaintiff attorneys than biglaw monkey scribes and other assorted drones

Mr. Nice! posted:I think I’m just going to tell my boss to ask the judge for an exception and give them everything numbered in native format. Yeah I also misinterpreted your request. You can use something like Logikcull and avoid Relativity altogether. It makes it a lot easier to produce native files (with load files and TIFF images and whatever metadata you want) without a litigation support team, but gets cost prohibitive at over 10-20 gigs or so without a longer term contract (basic plan is billed per Gig per month). If you have basic tech experience or whatever you said it should be easy enough to figure out on your own or with their very nice support team and extensive FAQ. Otherwise, yeah just produce the PDFs and make Kirkland go to the judge if that’s not good enough for them for some reason...?

Also, if anyone was thinking of prosecuting in a mid-size Midwest city/county, now is your moment. My office is soon going to be down 4 attorneys out of 9 in the criminal division. Kill me.

Lest we risk a C-SPAM brigade like the landlord thread, I thought the thread (HDD) already hashed out that all criminal prosecutors are scum that should be executed for their crimes against the people? Edit: Unless this is a honeypot to entrap lawyers to be executed for being an arm of the prison-industrial complex, then of course carry on.

This thread concluded that? I thought that was insurance defense attorneys. I hope my Trump thread fun isn't ruined. "I'm one of the good ones." Yesterday I told an ICE lawyer who wanted reports from a case I did to gently caress off.

I'm late to the K&E chat but want to share that I am wrapping up a deal with K&E on the other side, and their negotiation tactic was: (a) respond to all of our comments/markups with a one line email calling us loving idiots, and (b) call up some other random partner at my firm and yell at them about how terrible we (meaning the deal team) are. This is the second time I've had this experience against K&E, and the first time was with a different partner in a different office. We ended up conceding to them on everything anyway because sponsors have all the leverage.

The thread didn't actually conclude that, HDD just had a minor meltdown which was entertaining for a bit. I, for one, think prosecutors are fine. But - at the moment - there is one running against Bernie, so until the primary is over (or Harris drops), I hate them all and they're all scum.
