Two responses to this bill: 1) This exception already exists for LED, so it’s not a completely new idea. 2) The bill goes too far to fill a gap that absolutely needs to be filled. I’ve worked on municipal economic development projects, and they are HARD to work on. Companies have a disincentiv...
[quote]Crim - 85%+ Insurance defense - 50% L&E - 80% PI - 85% Other commercial lit - 50% M&A/CRE/etc - 50% Immigration - 95%[/quote] I think that's probably close to accurate, although I think the Insurance Defense might be lower (35%). You don't have government attorneys, wh...

I always thought it was hilarious that people put their faith in Sidney Powell. She wasn't a good lawyer before, during, or after. :lol:...
[quote]I’ve heard a lot of good things about her[/quote] I'm actually genuinely curious as to what that is. She hasn't fared very well in the cases that matter (SCOTUS), and I have never been impressed by any of her arguments I've listened to. It's not enough to be a mouthpiece when you aren't...
[quote]Pretty SOP for judges who routinely deal with that prosecutor's office, when having to rule on recusal of that prosecutor.[/quote] Is that standard in LC? As far as I'm aware, that's not the practice at all in my JDC (although non-trivial motions to recuse a prosecutor are rare up here)....

I’d love to know what law school taught you that was called a merits trial. It’s called an appeal. For those lost in the argument, the trial court finds facts. The appellate court is then bound by those facts absent error by the trial court. The appellate court can then apply those facts to leg...
What part of this is going to be a merits trial in the Fourth Circuit? You think they are going to decide factual issues on appeal under a de novo review standard? That’s laughable....
Court of appeals review grants of summary judgment de novo. They don’t review trials de novo. If that was the case, we’d skip the jury and go straight to the appeals courts. Your edit came after I was posting. Of course it isn’t. But the facts are going to factor in heavily here. It won’t be a “m...
Not from a trial. De novo review is on summary judgment....
They don’t held merits trials in appellate courts. What are you talking about?...
I think you are the one who didn’t read the ruling. The case was tried - not just a trial on an injunction quickly. The state prevailed. This was on an actual appeal. Not an appeal of a preliminary injunction. The Fourth entered an injunction on appeal with nary a word why. And I know they don...
[quote]Nope. The court denied emergency relief from the 4th Circuit ruling, on procedural grounds.[/quote] Considering the Supreme Court (like the 4th Circuit) gave absolutely no reason for its ruling, you have no idea why they did what they did. And, it gave a specific transgender individual ...
We should just stay every law until courts have decided whether we can actually have them, right? Especially when courts don’t tell us why they are enjoining them....
