Merry Christmas to All!

Have a Merry and Festive Christmas Holiday weekend. I’ll likely be offline until after New Year’s and promise to return with more topical posts (while retaining my “tell you what I really think” commentary).

And yes, I’m wishing you all Merry Christmas, not Happy Holidays. Don’t get me started on that.

These Lawyers Have Their Priorities Straight

This has to be one of the funniest and ballsiest motions I’ve seen filed – A Motion to Continue Trial Due to Conflict With The LSU Tigers’ National Championship Game.

Seriously. Their case was set for trial for Monday, January 7 in Baton Rouge, LA. Counsel, “self-professed LSU fans,” got together and asked the Court to postpone their case. While a National Championship game does not constitute peremptory grounds for continuance, the motion argues that the Court could, in its discretion, grant a continuance for “good cause.” These fine lawyers were “unable through much imagination and hypothetical scenarios to think of a better reason” than painting their faces purple and gold, getting drunk on Bourbon Street, and watching a football game.

Good for them.

Thanks to Above the Law.
