Setting aside the decorum issues how can you call someone a "really good lawyer" who doesn't know the process for impeachment by deposition or the proper basis for a hearsay objection? If her area of practice never involved trial advocacy neither of those might ever rear their head but both are likely in a defamation case. I can't stress how rudimentary these skills are in trial advocacy. For a seasoned trial attorney, both of those skills require as much bandwidth as putting on a pair of pants and getting the zipper in the front.
