You don't threaten to sue.You sue, and then threaten not to drop the suit.
I agree with the previous poster...the “letter of demand” comes first, usually with a specific demand that must be accomplished within five or ten days from receipt. This is the first step...then the “Petition” will be filed in Wasilla (even better). Then the fireworks begin...each defendant (this is the critical part) will have 30 days to file an “Answer.” The defendants will include everyone connected with this book in any way. After each Answer is filed, then each of the defendants will motion the court to release them as a defendant. They will each try to worm their way out from being a defendant, hearing after hearing, brief after brief, motion after motion. Each defendant will be forced to hire an Alaskan attorney, and each hearing will be in Wasilla. The costs will be incredible for each of the defendants. Sarah’s costs will also be very high, but not in comparison.
Tough case to defend given that critical evidence has found its way into the public domain prior to any suit being filed. Random House will hire the finest attorneys who will do all the briefing, and then they will send their briefs to the Alaskan counsel to file (after he modifies it to Alaskan law. Sounds like an economic boom for Wasilla and Alaska. Lawyers, filing fees, depositions, travel, airfare, meals, hotels, office supplies, printing companies, etc., etc.
Sarah will actually create an economic boom for Alaska…don’t ya just love it? You betcha!
EAGLES UP SARAH! Turn it over to your Attorney, and run for President.
