The Federal Rules of [Civil]/[Criminal] Procedure are the same for every federal district court.

The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure are the same for every federal circuit court.

Each district and circuit court, however, can establish additional local rules. These local rules cannot supplant an established rule, but can supplement or otherwise clarify.* The differences between local rules often (but not always!) are relatively minor.

And then there are local-local rules, i.e., each judge's preferences. Sometimes a judge will issue a blanket order; sometimes you figure them out the hard way.


* E.g., a federal rule might say that a court must hear urgent motions on a regular basis. So a local rule might specify that urgent motions are heard every Monday afternoon. But another court could specify Friday afternoons.

I could see her being a better out-of-court spokesperson for his lawfare team on a more permanent basis in lieu of doing the actual courtroom work, sure. But only if she's restricted to dealing with friendly media audiences.

Probably not a surprise, but now the same wingnuts who so loudly predicted that Habba's brilliant, beautiful lawyering was gonna get Trump off the hook are now claiming that she's a deep state plot to embarrass their orange-tinted deity.

https://www.rawstory.com/alina-habba-deep-state-plant/
'Incompetent' Alina Habba dubbed 'deep state plant to destroy Donald Trump' in new theory

“The ‘Alina Habba was a deep state plant to destroy Donald Trump’ theory has entered the building,” historian and right-wing extremism expert Mark Pitcavage wrote.

Pitcavage shared with his X followers a tweet from UltraMAGAGirl arguing Habba’s shaky defense in E. Jean Carroll’s New York City defamation trial was purposefully incompetent.

UltraMAGAGirl’s theory raised questions for X user Debbie Hemenway, who wanted to know, “Has anyone ever seen Habba and Taylor Swift in the same room at the same time? Hmmm?”

The pop star is also at the center of a far-right conspiracy theory that argues the Super Bowl will be rigged so she can endorse President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.

X user @CLSRoach argued the MAGA girl’s theory had a serious flaw.

“‘Our guy hires incompetent people ALL the time’ isn’t the flex they think it is,” she wrote.

“I wonder who forced Trump to hire Alina Habba,” replied @narcissistchro1. “For the guy who's going to save us from the deep state, he sure gets fooled by the deep state a lot.”
By the way, Mark Pitcavige is a treasure. He's one of a handful of professional poot trackers along with Christine Sarteschi and JJ MacNab but I think he's way better. He's active on Xitter a lot, at: https://twitter.com/egavactip. He's also riotously funny.

If my understanding is correct, she is one of the founding partners of her firm. It would be difficult for the other partners to sideline her if she doesn't want to be sidelined.

Difficult perhaps but it would depend on how the firm is structured.

According to their website: https://habbalaw.com/

Habba Madaio & Associates LLP consists of:
Alina Habba - Managing Partner
Michael Madaio - Partner
Peter W Gabra - Associate
Ranger Ingram - Chief Administrative Officer
Peter A Swift- Of Counsel

I suppose she could mistakenly sack herself.

Trump attorney Alina Habba may have made up a fake person to push her arguments in the former president's defamation case, the lawyer for columnist E. Jean Carroll alleges.

In her Tuesday letter denying the accusations, Carroll's lead counsel said that what she was most concerned about was where Habba received the information of an alleged conflict of interest, suggesting that the Trump attorney made up a fake source.

That is as may be, but we’ll never know. Habba already told the Court she got it from the Post. She’s never going to cop to telling the Court that she (or someone acting on her direction) gave it to the Post in the first place. And the Post will never divulge its source, assuming they even know who it is.

With liability a virtually foregone conclusion, the defamation case was essentially a trial on damages. I am not a Habba fan (and there were times when she seemed way out of her depth), but it is difficult to imagine that any lawyer could have pulled Trump’s fat out of the fire.

However, I think she does deserve blame for the $1 million in fees imposed related to the grievance lawsuit against Hillary et al.

There is a nationwide set of Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure. Each Circuit has its own local rules, but they generally cover minor things like the form of briefs, time limits for motions, stuff like that. An experienced federal appellate lawyer can handle a case in any federal circuit with little difficulty. (Some states have arcane appellate procedures which trip up outsiders; New York State appellate procedure is especially tricky.)

Teri Kanefield is an experienced appellate defense lawyer who breaks down how it works. She doesn't get super in the weeds about stuff; mostly her knowledge is applied to the Trump cases. Search her blog for info specific to appeals. Her column in general is EXCELLENT and highly recommended.

It sounds threaty but ambiguously so.

I'd like someone to ask her how the Biden administration was involved in a state prosecution. I want the details.
