The First District Appellate Court gave a good tongue-lashing to some attorneys for their fine toddler-esque behavior.
Seems that a couple appellees in a case filed a motion before the appellate court that was a couple of pages too long. The appellant, represented by Taft, Stettinius & Hollister in Cincinnati, objected and filed a motion to strike. In the words of the Court, “Egad.”
But when appellant’s counsel went so far as to redraft the offending motion (in an effort strengthen the appellant’s argument), the court took particular note of the amount of free time that counsel has.
It’s an amusing read. M&M Metals v Continental Casualty
