$340k Incivility Tax & Other Cases

  • サマリー

  • Jeff is in trial, so take in a few quick summaries of recent cases and get back to billing:

    • Incivility cost attorney $340,000 in fee reduction. Clip-n-save the recent controlling case on this point, Karton v. Ari Design & Construction, Inc.: "Excellent lawyers deserve higher fees, and excellent lawyers are civil.”
    • Don’t let the trial court deny relief before you’ve asked for it.
    • Lost the CCP 998 bet? You can still get judgment-enforcement fees.
    • Infamous sterlization case Buck v. Bell (”three generations of imbeciles are enough”) has never been formally overruled, and the California Court of Appeal still gives the mentally disabled mere rational basis.
