George:
Look, we are just trying to envision what opponents are likely to try. The outcome will depend on the facts.
Are you sure it isn't more likely to depend on things that should be completely irrelevant, say, what you look like? There was a hot chick I used to work with who would tell me about all the times she got pulled over and usually let off with a warning. She really was a menace to the road, great body though. As I said, I'm on nobody's side, I'm not recommending any particular course of action, but the idea that you can help keep out of trouble with a reasonable retention policy requires you to anticipate what policy a judge considers to be reasonable, which in turn ....
Bingo. Remember what Uni said about "not amused" judges? We should have just left it at that. ~Aimee

Maybe. Just so I'll know for sure, are you agreeing with me or ridiculing me? I'm well aware that my own style makes it difficult to tell when (if ever) I'm serious. I mean, I'm not stupid enough to actually tell a judge, "you're an insane, ignorant idiot, facts are wasted on you, so instead of getting a lawyer that actually knows something about this area of law, I went looking for the hottest chick I can find who is legally qualified to practice law in this district, in hopes that you'll drool over her and find in my favor". I'm not stupid enough to SAY it, but I just might be stupid enough to TRY it, if I felt that that was my best chance of reaching a favorable verdict. As for unamused judges, if I were to tell a judge that a judge is just a law student who gets to grade his own papers, do you think he'd say that's 1) not funny at all 2) maybe funny the first time, but this is like the 200th or 3) a real knee slapper? Thanks, George

I don't remember what was said at this point. :) My comments were good-natured, George. They always are.

So, when you go to battle in the round, you want a good-looking gladiator to "distract" the lions. Maybe they won't eat her because she's pretty? Maybe they figure she's just "more tasty," and they will play with her a little...and bat her around.... before they pounce on her and gobble her up for being "a stupid twit." When lawyers go into chambers, it's not for a damn lap dance. If I could, I would file my teeth into sharp little pygmy points and graft Doberman pincher ears to my head.

Oh, their papers get graded... ~Aimee
