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.
