Re: she really has no choice... said by Time4aNAP 
[... : The RIAA's lawyers will waste as much time as possible, nit-picking various points, coming to court "unprepared", anything to get yet another continuance. Just an FYI for you, Barnaby - coming to court unprepared does not incline a judge to continue a hearing to a future date. If your atty arrives "unprepared," then it better be because he was just in a horrendous, fiery car wreck and lost 3 limbs as a result.

Des Plaines, IL | Re: Lawyers' Excuses You might think that watching TV. But I've sat in many a courtroom where the case was continued for yet another month because an attorney claimed that he hadn't had "sufficient time" for Discovery, to go over the other party's evidence etc., and therefore wasn't prepared to go to trial just yet. And yes, the judges are quite willing to allow such tactics. Like it or not, that's how the real world works. |

3 edits | Agreed. I've witnessed this on several occasions now... and no where better to witness this horror of a justice system we have than the great New London Superior Court. Never heard of it? It's the court that decided the eminent domain issue and made it possible for any developer with a hard-on for your property to steal it right out from underneath you (before it was appealed to the Supreme Court where Divine Judge Sutter upheld it). |
