Quote of the Day:
Jim: Hey Alex, don’t only juries issue verdicts?

Jim: And when you do a motion for directed verdict in a bench trial, you call it something else.
Me: By the same token, when you move for a directed verdict, don’t you ask the judge to enter a verdict?
Jim: …Good point.

-Leo T. Sorokin, on advise to young lawyers

“You can’t cry on the bench.”
-Judith Dein, on making judgments

“I always wondered why I sounded like Donald Duck and the other guy sounded like Socrates.”
-Dein, on the importance of court reporters

Puh.
