I don’t know whether to wish I could speak legal-ese or be happy I don’t.

....and the short plain language summary is....>

Will someone tell the legal beagle who wrote this that "Apropos" does not mean "appropriate."

It means "concerning that about which we were speaking," or just plain "about."

Other than that, and a few typos, which nowadays seem inevitable, this is a hard-hitting piece of legal writing. The hook is well baited. Now let's see if the judge bites. Or bites back.

The seasons change as the come and go and the winds keep blowing. Soon it will be 2012 and that too will be a season of change.

It means nothing!

I think the legal eagle has used the word apropos appropriately and in a pertinent manner. I understand what he was saying.

Can someone provide an Executive Summary to these postings?

I need the dummies’ version.

Severe brainular inability to understand legal language.

Jerry, Lawyer Hemenway says,
"The other team's lawyers are wrong, not only that,
they are full of absurd bullshiite.
They are quoting and misquoting all the exactly wrong cases,
and if you believe them, you're gonna look pretty damn dumb,
your Honor, Sir."

Other than that, and a few typos, which nowadays seem inevitable, this is a hard-hitting piece of legal writing.

...except that it is totally wrong. The defense did not have to file a Notice of Cross-Appeal to raise new grounds, because an appellate court has the power to affirm a judgment of dismissal on any ground found in the record, even if it was not the ground relied upon by the trial court. (In other words, if the trial judge reached the right result for the wrong reasons, the Court of Appeals must still affirm.) Perkins Coie did nothing more than raise additional arguments why the district court's dismissal of the suit was proper.

Well done!

[little jeremiah]

Thank you, much appreciated!

It’s like watching sausage being made.......

[AmericanVictory]

You don’t seem to have read what was said very accurately. Your assertion is incorrect.

[Kenny Bunk]

.....except that it is totally wrong.

Yeah, well, there is that aspect to it. However, I was inclined to be somewhat lenient in my remarks, finding it somewhat more coherent than a certain Russian Lady Dentist's pleadings.

[Kenny Bunk]

OK! But pinging this with a grain of salt.
