@bwadesays@BoBoGoldenGod@Drosent23@BarstoolBigCat The point of reviewing and penalizing clear and obvious dives, like this one, is to remove the incentive for players to dive. It’s hard enough to ref the game without these fake dives
@MariaBruno01 He’s so desperate for power. It makes total sense he’d be desperate to find a powerful patron at an event like this. He saw what it did for Vance
@BrennanBaxt They should have the court grant them automatic entry to the CFP. Or shoot, just require they be named national champs. What could be better for this poor young man’s health than that?
@uconnhuskies03@BuckeyeNatty St X plays Olentangy Orange (the team they played for the state title in football this year). They already won state in tennis and lacrosse this spring, as well.
@TheSquidCorp@darrenrovell I had the same question. Obviously he wouldn’t want all of it deferred, but seems like he could have deferred a huge chunk of it (especially if it accrued interest) to avoid the 10% payment. Although with average stock market performance, may be better to get 90% now
@ToasterRan59580@NotAnotherEsq @DrescherLaw Agreed, the 2-3 dispositive cases are the ones the partner would know/care about. The rest of the cites a partner is generally not reviewing and checking. Associates may be tasked with doing so, or even better if you can run it thru Westlaw or something similar to check
@NotAnotherEsq@ToasterRan59580 @DrescherLaw My point is that, at least at my firm, the vast majority of the citation checks were being done by associates. Partners certainty would review and be well aware of the cases that were central to the briefing/arguments. But they generally were not checking every cite
@ToasterRan59580 @DrescherLaw @NotAnotherEsq Agreed, there are tools that can help with this sort of check, and I assume are more common now than when I went in house in 2020. I still doubt partners are the ones running those tools.
@ToasterRan59580 @DrescherLaw @NotAnotherEsq In my experience even high stakes briefs had plenty of that sort of copying and pasting. But even still, I never once had a partner checking citations before submitting, even on substantial cases.
@ToasterRan59580 @DrescherLaw @NotAnotherEsq That is only the case in extremely high value litigation. I would wager that 99% of briefs filed do not get anywhere approaching that level of review/oversight
