I've only ever heard of clouded title/cloud on title with regards to property. I've never heard in in relation to people.

things not to talk about when you are an accused child molester: your "perfect, perfect sex life" “I challenge David Boies to say under oath that he has only had sex with one woman during that period of time. He couldn’t do it. So he has an enormous amount of chutzpah to challenge me, and to challenge my perfect, perfect sex life during the relevant period of time.” how was this guy a well regarded lawyer

There's a reason my state has mandatory judicial retirement at 75 (well, technically, that reason is that back in the 70's a junior justice on the state Supreme Court wanted to push out the Chief Justice so got a law passed to force his retirement, but still).

Have any of you had opposing counsel say something so completely wrong that you had a panic moment and thought you were reading the wrong file? Happened to me yesterday. Assault 1. Stabbing case. Defendant lacerated a guy’s spleen after a verbal altercation between the defendant’s wife and victim’s girlfriend. Bond reduction argument. Certified legal intern saying he’s a local and has no failure to appear and no reason bond can’t be reduced. My whole argument was “six prior failures to appear. Two criminal contempts of court. Multiple assault convictions. Reports he’s been stalking the victim. And an escape conviction.” When she said no prior failures to appear I genuinely panicked and thought I was about to argue the wrong file.

ActusRhesus posted:Have any of you had opposing counsel say something so completely wrong that you had a panic moment and thought you were reading the wrong file? The most useful single thing I ever learned in any CLE I ever attended was from a veteran trial attorney, one of the most well-known and reputable in our entire state. The quote was "If I'm stepping into a courtroom, someone has made a horrible mistake. It might be me, it might be my client, it might be the other side's attorney, it might be their client, but someone is going to win and someone is going to lose." I often flash back to that quote and think about how the entire practice of law seems to boil down to making sure the other guy is the one making the horrible mistake.

Complete zero sum. That quote, and the one about the practice being like performing open heart surgery, except there is another surgeon in the operating room doing his absolute best to make sure your patient dies, perfectly encapsulate why this profession is garbage.

There were three questions on the exam, respectively worth 30, 10, and 10 points, for a grand total of 50 points. To get around this impossible feat of reconciling 50 points into 60%, they gave us all ten points for showing up. Lawyer maths!

I had calendar call this morning and despite OC saying everything was going to go his way and the judge would potentially be mad at us for things, it was very pleasant with no issues. I hope the hearing in a few weeks on punitive damages goes well, also. Do any other states treat punitive damages like FL? In FL, you have to file a motion for leave to amend your complaint and then have a hearing where you present record evidence and a proffer of evidence. If the judge, accepting your proffer as true, finds there is a reasonable basis that the defendant acted with statutorily defined willful misconduct or gross negligence, then punitive damages can be amended to your complaint. Without this process, punitive damages are unavailable unless you have a statutory cause of action that includes them.

There are very limited statutory areas where punitives are permitted though.

In VA you can plead punitive damages ad damnum with other counts, I've been told by smarter people pleading them separately in VA is usually a bad idea.

Look Sir Droids posted:4.1s? Our grading system didn't make tremendous sense to me, we were on a 4.3 scale, But clinics/IS was pretty much a default 3.6-3.8, and since all the curves in each class were published in the library, if you really cared about your GPA you could just shop the classes you wanted for a higher one since the school was terrified of giving people low grades. I really don't think the system was outlandish though since a 2.7-3.0 was like a C+ or B- on a letter scale, and if you did well you could score a low A equivalent pretty easy. Letter grades were really never issues for purposes of grading though. If I did really well in a class I'd score a 3.7-4.1ish, if I tanked a class (like PR) I would get like a 2.5 or something.

My LS was a strict curve set at median 3.1 I think iirc (it should have been 3.0 but floated up). I remember being ok with a B- and really happy with a B+

Mine was similar. Set to b-. Every class except legal writing above a certain side had to have 3-5% of the class get a D. Got a nasty email from OC because I emailed the JA twice yesterday to discuss scheduling a hearing (of which he refused to coordinate with me). This guy doesn’t move without a court order and it’s maddening.
