They will prepare their witnesses and can include extraordinary number of points to remember when and if they are deposed. Allegedly they may have experts prepare court documents which are experts in writing the documents. Their attorneys may be experts or really excellent in certain areas, (e.g. cross examinations, specific issues in the case, etc etc.)
The purpose in writing this is to ask if the Village's Counsel's are as well prepared to have the case result in a decision that would reopen the school? Allegedly these firms are outstanding and will win most cases as their opposing attorney's are no where near prepared and have sources that are experts in a number of area's. I am hopeful The Village's have top attorneys representing them so the playing field is level.  |
Well said. This firm probably does have a lot of proprietary books and the like for everything that works with ADA complaints and that which does not. I have always hoped that some law firms will make works like this more accessible to lay people. Some law firms are doing this now it seems like from their web-sites I have looked at and especially law professor blogs. It is kind of liked getting a beloved chef to give up some of her recipes. Some will do it on occasion; others will never do it.
This was something in law school too. Access to Law Review outlines of various courses kind of made it quite easier to get good grades in the classes they covered. But such access was guarded very well. You still had to work your butt off but it was a lot easier to figure out what the Professor was looking for from the insider information provider by the Law Review course outlines. I got one for a Tax Course for instance that even helped me to do fairly well on the Tax Section of the Minnesota Bar Exam.
