DESCRIPTION
Once again, Michael Smith highlights some key learning points from the Texas courts, including:
- Same plaintiff, different judges, different outcomes--What lessons can we learn from the Sonrai cases and the different decisions in Waco and Austin?
- A delicate balancing act between asking the otherside to create new documents and asking the other side to explain their financial documents. Can we really find a rule of reasonableness?
- LinkedIn abuse--A sharp rebuke about venue gamesmanship and the misuse of LinkedIn profiles.
- A textbook case for striking portions of an expert opinion.
- Judge Gilstrap explains his views on discovery of negotiation agreements and litigation funding documents.
- Past or present--what are the venue impacts of a closed facility?
