I have never practiced in the sense I hung out a shingle, but have served of counsel numerous times to make arguments for the finders of fact. Before a “Arbiters of Law” (the judge) I’m lousy. Before the “Finders of Fact” (the jury) I’m damn good.

I don't know how you think you can be damn good in front of a jury, since you've never practiced law. How did you ever get in front of a jury without practicing law? Sounds like BS to me.

I would have to agree with you that in front of a judge you would be lousy. You have proven that fact by your ignoarance of the law. You think you can manipulate facts and get a bunch of ignorant civil servants to follow your logic, but you don't know the law and you don't know how to argue the law.

If you are trying to prove up a libel claim based on this letter by the Duke 88, that case will never go to trial because even if everything you allege is true in regard to the facts, the letter is still not libel and the issue will never go to a jury.

In order to be a good used car salesman, you gotta have a car. You don't have a car to sell.

With no insurance, they will even have to pay for their own lawyers.

I'd guess that is not correct. The majority of them probably have an umbrella policy.

Your email to the Duke 88 reminds me of that nutri-system commercial I have been seeing for months on TV: “I love it, I love it, I love it!”

I already said, I didn’t hang out shingle (opened law office) but have been retained to make oral argument. Sounds like FR (failure to read) to me.

Ignoring what law. pray tell????

>>>>You think you can manipulate facts and get a bunch of ignorant civil servants to follow your logic, but you don’t know the law and you don’t know how to argue the law.

Gee, those juries must have been wrong. I’ll have to give my contingency fee back!

>>>>If you are trying to prove up a libel claim based on this letter by the Duke 88, that case will never go to trial because even if everything you allege is true in regard to the facts, the letter is still not libel and the issue will never go to a jury.

If you don't know how to get such a case before the jury, I pity your clients.

Am selling a rather delightful black 2005 Lexis that was bought with contingency fee case winnings. Sell your own 91 Yugo and make me an offer.

If your are speaking about homeowners’ unbrella policiies, most exclude work related causes, libel, slander, malpractice, assault and battery and the like.

In California we call that... practicing law.

Sounds like FR (failure to read) to me.

What we have here... failure to communicate.

Gee, those juries must have been wrong. I’ll have to give my contingency fee back!

Only a practicing lawyer can collect a contingency fee.

If you don't know how to get such a case before the jury, I pity your clients.

My specialty is in administrative law. My subspecialty is appellate law. I don't do juries.

Sell your own 91 Yugo and make me an offer.

I can't. Where would I live?

You have my utmost respect. Such a specialty would drive me to tears.

As a friend once said “The main problem with appellate and admin law is that you have to deal with other lawyers all day long.”

Be well

Boy, she was ready to come down hard on you with no notice, wasn’t she? However her speech — that was to adversely prejudice the case against the innocent young men, and move it forward railroading style — should be protected?

Of course, as soon as one professor is served, he/she will go running to his/her lawyer. Their lawyer will play “let’s make a deal” by implicating others. Then they will sue the most hated professor, which will set the high dollar damages expectation for the rest of the cases. Others will then want to settle fast.

I'm reminded of the Electric Cooperative commercial where one ping-pong ball is dropped among a room filled with ping-pong balls on set mouse traps which set off a chain reaction snapping the traps and causing the balls to continue the reaction.

Duke's rat traps are set - ready for springing...

MindBender that is awesome, this IMHO is one of the best FR posts EVER. I hope dearly that the big guns come out in defense of the LaCrosse players, and are merciless in their pursuit of every weasel who found political advantage in destroying the lives of these young men.
The left has been doing this everywhere in the world for about a century, and in small scale regional “Theaters of Operations” like those chaired by hitmen like Nifong in places as “secondary” as North Carolina. It is TIME that someone played hardball with these bastards and made them PAY in more ways than one for their thuggery. I will be following this, and meanwhile, thank you for reporting on it.As Larry the Cable Guy says, “Git ‘er DONE!!!”
