JF#872: "The dismissal of Lahr's lawsuit was based on a technicality, and has NOTHING to do with the merits of the claim. I work with this type of thing all day long, it's basically meaningless."
JF#899: "It's quite apparent to me what Lahr is seeking, and it's also quite apparent NTSB would most likely find it very embarrassing to release, or POSSIBLY even produce."

JF#908: "As someone who is involved with legal issues on a daily basis, I can say, that most of the debate here is simply a waste of time. The point of the whole thing, and the basis of this thread, which I started, is to report on the progress or lack thereof of Capt' Lahr's attempts to pry from the NTSB that which they seem intent on keeping to themselves. Personally, and this is just an opinion, I doubt there is any data in fact, upon which NTSB or CIA calculated their respective cartoons. What will they say if ordered to produce this supposed data? Sorry, we made it all up?"
JF#938: "most lawyers routinely rely on paralegals, and paralegal investigators to research all aspects of the law, and in many cases all relevant aspects of the case in toto. The overwhelming majority of investigatory and fact finding work performed prior to trial is performed by paralegals. This information is then assembled, reviewed and discussed with the attorney. Many paralegals possess either education or experience in other fields, which make them invaluable in the legal investigatory process. Lawyers are mainly concerned with the INTERPRETATION of LAWS."
