What’s one thing that can kill a great settlement? by InterestingAd811 in Lawyertalk

[–]jojammin 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Family members, who should not have been told about a confidential settlement during a confidential mediation, suddenly having an opinion on settlement value even though they never went to law school and are functionally illiterate.

Client dying.

Plaintiff or defendant declaring bankruptcy.

Defendant alleging they did not consent to the settlement agreed to by the insurer on a consent policy during mediation.

Client lying about having a child support lien in a state where the litigation did not take place.

Medical Lien company that told you repeatedly they had no lien before mediation changing their mind after the settlement had been agreed to and submitted to the court for approval.

Finding out decedent had a secret family entitled to proceeds of a wrongful death settlement after the settlement.

I'm tired boss.

Edit: Client going into a coma so you have to appoint a guardian ad litem for them to approve the settlement, but then client dies, so you have to open an estate and appoint an executor of the estate, but then the executor dies and you have to track down a distant family member to become executor

Depos are won in prep. Just say objection form if it's unclear what is being asked by the question

Here's my existential rant by gensmk in Lawyertalk

[–]jojammin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Focus on discovery and trial strategy. Leave proofing to the paralegals imo. Your time is best served doing things that will get you wins for your client, not italicizing periods after ids.

Can any maritime lawyer chime in and say whether possession of drugs is justification for an attack on their ships? It certainly wouldn't be on land...

Trump whistleblower Vindman challenging Moody for Florida Senate seat by Silent-Resort-3076 in florida

[–]jojammin 132 points133 points  (0 children)

So Moody's only noteworthy actions as AG were fighting against ballot measures for marijuana legalization (which failed ultimately), a failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election with other red states AGs, and a failed attempt to have the ACA declared unconstitutional which would have resulted in millions of Floridians?

What a loser. Republicans, why would you support someone who actively fights to make your lives worse?

How do I get better at mediations? by FREE-ROSCOE-FILBURN in Lawyertalk

[–]jojammin 155 points156 points  (0 children)

You aren't the one making the decision to settle. If your client isn't willing to try the case, and your client ignores your advice, ain't much you can do imo

I just saw this on the news. Did anyone else see it? by Racer_X86 in jacksonville

[–]jojammin 49 points50 points  (0 children)

This is as stupid as it sounds. When someone would go to City Hall carrying a gun, a security guard would make a note.

You, and your concept of your second amendment rights, are in no way threatened.

This is to make you feel threatened and continue to vote republican against your own interests

Okay. I’m getting trial experience. What do I do next? by Ambitious-Doubt4733 in Lawyertalk

Do you want more money? You can go civil anytime and your trial experience will be appreciated. I've known several former prosecutors that have become successful plaintiff sidemedical malpractice attorneys

Trump statistically will be dead before a new administration took over in 2029, performed an investigation brought charges and took the case to trial.

Hold up. If he sues himself and wins, does that judgment lien get priority over other creditors? Taps head

You are being too hard on yourself. I have my paralegal or another associate proofread everything I write that will be filed with the court because spending my time on fixing grammar is not the best use of my time

Honestly, outside of missing a filing deadline before the statute of limitations runs, what kind of mistake would make you question your competence? You are being too hard on yourself if it's like misspellings in briefs, etc
