Cranky morning. Mediation today. I am exhausted of conflict and of lawyers who see themselves as intellectual gi ants. Spoiler: we aren’t.
Last night, settlement talks in a case for my biggest client fell apart. This is going to become a high stakes case with potentially more money at stake than any case I have handled before, with a really complicated set of tactical issues. These are the butt-puckering moments for a defense lawyer.
The only good news is tonight, I pull that cover off the Sunchaser and drive 180 miles to Sacramento. Tomorrow morning, we meet at the California Automotive Museum for the 2019 California Carrera, a vintage car rally. Two days of fun, hard driving in the car will be a nice break from this recent stress.

This driveway has changed drastically in the last year. For the better I’d say.

lawyers who see themselves as intellectual giants
A lawyerly argument could be made that an assortment of intellectual gnomes in a big coat
is equivalent to an intellectual giant. The argument only has to convince a jury...

Here’s a star for making me imagine gnomes in bad suits stacked under a trench coat. Which then morphed into an old Pinky & The Brain.
