THE ROBING ROOM

I’d love to rate him across categories but I never met the man, he having denied my case before it even got underway. He denied stipulations between counsel, made an unbelievably quick trial schedule and then granted an MTD that makes brand new law (even against sound precedent) by simply signing the defendant’s proposed statement of decision. Now, we take him in appeal, not because every one of our claims was great but because some of them should have survived the MTD, especially given the actual law on the subject.
