LawTalkers - It was the wrong thread

*Yawn*....2010?? Have I missed anything?

Hey, where are folks getting associate salary info these days? Seriously. Don't need it for myself, but for hiring purposes to see where the market is at.

Hi! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

It's still a recession. We pay them what we want and they better say thank you. Preferably in an unsolicited kind of way.

That's crazy talk. What kind of greedy, greedy, greedy associates do you expect to cultivate in that kind of environment?

Hello, Penske.

Hello, Penske.

Excuse me, what decade did you say you're from?

In honor of the election today, since health care costs about to rise with the Republican's fortunes, I'm going to cut the firm's contribution to health insurance. That'll teach the little buggers.

Hooo-ah! That feels good.

I span the decades. Loved the ME decade, torn about the We/Al Franken decade, loved the beginning of the Greedy era...

"In honor of the election today?" No excuse me, what day do you think it is today? :-)

Yesterday was a missed opportunity to vote for Greed We Can Believe In.

go to page 36- what you don't want to read in an appeals court's opinion- your arguments that the $200 million damage award against your client is excessive can't be heard, because you failed to file a motion for something or other.

people should be more careful with Bill Gates's money.

Heh, the main defense counsel is in my neigborhood--pretty well known as a bigshot. Always nice to see a local guy do bad.

Weil and Gibson Dunn. Oops.

P.S. It was a "judgment as a matter of law" before the matter goes to the jury, similar to a "motion for directed verdict."

I'm sure district judges everywhere appreciate that they will now (if they weren't) get another mailed-in post-trial/pre-verdict motion that they have to consider and reject solely for the purposes of the Federal Circuit's willingness to review the damages verdict more carefully if such a motion is filed before, rather than after, damages are awarded by the jury.

The fact that the argument wasn't raised in the trial court suggests that it wasn't a likely winner on the merits in the appellate court, no? Maybe this is just a procedural way to put a dog out of its misery.
