Sometimes honesty is the best policy. Even if it involves sharing what some might consider to be too much information. What kind of information, you ask? Well recently an attorney shared that he needed additional time due to gout, prescription drugs, a dead cat, and a roommate who was barely holding it together, among other things.

 

Don’t believe me? Here’s a bulleted list of the sub-headings of his brief supporting the adjournment request:

 

  • Plaintiff’s Counsel Has Been Very Ill

  • The Lexmark Scanner and the Canon Scanner

Want more? Here’s two pages to get you started. You can read the full brief here at Above the Law.
