Starting now - Judge’s Panel on Motions Drafting Presented by Honorable Wiley Daniel, Honorable Elizabeth Starrs, and Honorable Nina Wang and moderated by Matthew Cooper.
Final tips:
- Make it easy for the Court. CITE!
- Be clinical
- If it is highly technical, make it easy
- Use fact witnesses that know what they are talking about
- This is like a mini trial on paper (and then a hearing)- treat it as such
- Investigate before you file
The Hearing -Tips:
- Always go back to your brief
- Understand the Court’s Rules - how many binders? What about witness and exhibit list exchanges?
- Be consistent - if your story is not consistent, you lose. This means be consistent with your briefing
The Reply (if you get one):
- Reinforce your arguments
- Distinguish cases
- Is the imminent and immediate harm growing or becoming more of a problem?
- Be consistent - your story is your story and you are now officially stuck with it UNLESS something has changed since you filed.
The Response structure:
- Intro-highlight the very tough nature of PI relief
- Facts -Focus on why not a trade secret or not immediate/imminent harm
- Standard of Review (Preliminary injunction standard, Trade Secret standard, Application of the two)
- Analysis
- Conclusion
