So, Justice Court is opening up a Strip Court department. CD brethren, is this actually necessary?

Didn't Justice Court have a satellite court a few years ago?

It's not a satellite court. It's a department assignment for criming done in the tourist areas. So all the Public Urination (location:Bellagio Fountain) summons get heard by a single judge.

Sounds like the foundation for a reality TV show.

What have you heard? Something juicier than yet another associate bailing on them and opening up shop somewhere? I see their website headcount is low, but they've always been super slow to update that.

1:01 do you have a reason to think there is an implosion or are we gossiping? I'm down for either, I just want to know the parameters

Not likely. Steve Jaffe is a true believer. Can't imagine him ever switching sides, even for more than an effective rater of more than $245/hour.

Maybe Hall and Clayton go plaintiff. The problem is that I cannot see either of those guys who are so hard wired defense going plaintiff.

They are definitely going plaintiff. Starting their own practice in the next few months. Clayton will remain defense. This is straight from the source.

They hate plaintiffs. They hate plaintiffs' experts. They hate plaintiffs' treating physicians. That said, I will buy Steve Jaffe a round on the spot if he ever discloses Fazzini as an expert witness, just for pure chutzpah.

Steve already has a handful of large plaintiff cases (commercial policies). Mike is well liked and respected on both sides of the v. I think they will be just fine.

At least Lombardo is trying. Good for him.
