TFB friend and alumnus Mike Dunford gets a couple of paragraphs in this surprisingly good New York Times story about his current boss, Akiva Cohen, who coined the term "Litigation Disaster Tour," and how Cohen assembled a law firm group from people he met on the notorious (and enormous) Th...

I have a good deal of sympathy with outside counsel here. Just because a plaintiff has good grounds to allege one kind of awful conduct (installing a camera in a place where she is entitled to privacy) doesn't mean that she also has a claim for a different and more intense flavor of awful conduct (i...

Variety @Variety EXCLUSIVE: Attorneys for Donald Trump have sent a cease and desist letter to the filmmakers behind “The Apprentice” in an effort to block its U.S. sale and release. It warns the team behind the film not to pursue a distribution deal, according to two people who have read the letter...

Cannon has only presided over four* jury trials, but like every federal judge she has hundreds of cases on her docket. Making an assessment of how well she manages those hundreds of cases would be time-consuming, and I guess no one has taken the trouble. Most cases settle in one fashion or another, ...

And then there was the federal jury several decades ago in a southern state, possibly Georgia or South Carolina, in the prosecution of the CEO of a ... healthcare or insurance company, who had committed fraud of legendary proportions over many years. Nearly a dozen former CFOs testified against him,...

Jurors are hard to figure. Our small firm worked on a jury trial with an extremely experienced and successful trial lawyer from Los Angeles, a giant of the bar, and also a courteous and decent man who was not inclined to boast. He did, however, briefly gloat about how thoroughly he had impeached one...

Golly ... The New York Times, today: Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another Alito Home The justice’s beach house displayed an “Appeal to Heaven” flag, a symbol carried on Jan. 6 and associated with a push for a more Christian-minded government.

The most recent transcript on the NYT site is May 20, which you have already. If Flatpoint doesn't get to it first, I'll be happy to post a gift link to the NYT transcript for May 21. Note that yesterday the May 20 transcript was unusually late to appear on the NYT site; it hadn't been posted when I...

Thanks.

Where did you find that?

Would it be possible to get links to yesterday's and today's examination of prosecution defense witness Costello? The New York Times is posting pdf transcripts that are searchable and downloadable, presumably by concatenating and OCR-ing the images posted by the NYS court system. https://www.nytime...

Rich people have a big advantage in the college admissions lottery.

That said, in this case the advantage is probably discounted by Trump's well-publicized lack of interest in philanthropy that doesn't involve money flowing to himself.

If a trial session is going to start early, it's usual to discuss it on the record at the previous trial session. That didn't happen last Thursday, and the jurors were asked to show up on Monday at 9:30 am, which is the normal time for the jury to arrive. Tr. 3966. The court is able to contact juror...

I cannot express why, but that is literally and without exaggeration the funniest damned thing I've heard this year.

It's been deleted. Do you remember it well enough to reconstruct it?

More disappointed than surprised at the namby-pamby tone of this NYT article (gift link). https://www.nytimes.com/2024/05/17/us/alito-stop-steal-flag-ethics.html?unlocked_article_code=1.s00.B-RV.dE5pmHIG2gx4&smid=url-share A more useful article would have explored the singularity of the Court's ...

So I thought that jurisdiction over the defendant in a criminal case was obtained by arrest, not by service of process. Is this an Arizona thing?

And what is Giuliani on about with a deadline after which the charges have to be dismissed?

Oh yeah, the Georgia Rhodes v McDonald case where she was sanctioned also had the issue of Orly filing for a stay to Rhodes's deployment without Rhodes's permission, or even knowledge. She wrote the court to explain such as she was about to go to Iraq as ordered. https://storage.courtlistener.com/r...
