When the Badly-Behaved Party Is Opposing Counsel
There are many common elements to these reports, which I find to be largely credible. SRLs believe that their unfamiliarity with the legal system, combined with the tendency of some judges to assume the worst of them – that their cases are without merit, or that they are “vexatious” and abusing the process when they make honest mistakes and misjudgments – is being exploited by counsel on the other side as a matter of strategy.

My Experience Attending Examinations for Discovery
What on earth are Examinations for Discovery I find myself asking my lawyer. You see, the law firm was calling to set up a convenient time for these examinations to take place. I was the plaintiff in a Motor Vehicle Crash and it was determined that I was “0” at fault and the driver that caused the crash had plead guilty a couple of years ago. The Examinations for Discovery date had to coincide with my schedule as well as both lawyers’ but I was given plenty of notice. A date was set which was two months away and my lawyer requested to meet with me a week before I was to attend. I would soon come to understand that when you reach “Examinations for Discovery”, this is a crucial step of reaching a settlement.
