Best way to reach ( Read more... )

Watched it. I'm an addict. Mike was a nice guy, but he had to go. Now it's down to who annoys me more. I like Ilan, but he's done a couple of things lately that won't endear him to the Judges. The preview for next week has me interested though . . . what on earth???

Anyway, I'll see you later (in between panic attacks) since you are kind enough to host the "Old Man" and therefore me.

Pocket Briefs? irregularjoe January 13 2007, 15:11:12 UTC

I have this vision of you handing out tiny little pairs of underpants to the jury, like children's birthday party favors. Much better than the reality.

You have a twisted mind, young man. You'll do rather well at the practice of law. Not as fun as you describe. "Pocket Brief" = 2-3 pages max of law and analysis on one particular issue - like impeachment for instance. The Judge gets them, not the jury.

Right now we are fighting about res ipsa loquitor in a products liability case. Theme: fire sprinkler deployed in the absence of fire. They contend that they did not have exclusive possession of the intrumentality (i.e. sprinkler). I contend that they had exclusive possession up to time of sale of the home, then no alterations or repairs, so it was in original condition.

See . . . we do use that morass of @#^@! that they teach in law school. Hey . . . shouldn't you be studying??? ::grin::

Really, you don't have to make up some story for me - I know you're wandering the marbled, echoing halls of a SF courthouse with pockets full of tiny underpants. I won't judge you.

I think this counts as study. You used latin.

PS: I side with you, chief. Go get them bad sprinkler manufacturers!
