[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8892741, member: 7023840"] Hard to say. I'll probably write a longer-ish article about this in the future, but when you're looking at corporation v. corporation (even if one is "the little guy,") the rules get a little scrambled from the old-fashioned, "Little guys like juries, corporations and soulless dead eyed elves like bench trials." Large corporations with a lot of money can afford a lot of ... stuff. Not just the bestest (and mostest) attorneys, but also all the small things to give them an edge. A rapid response team of associates following the trial (and immediate transcripts every day). A jury consultant team to make sure that you not only get an optimal jury, but that you match the themes you are developing in the trial for that particular jury- down to each individual juror. And so on. In short, there are a lot of strategic decisions that would go into this (if it gets to that point). But there is no reason I would [I]necessarily [/I]expect a bench trial. Heck, we still don't know what Hasbro's claims would be, if they were to file suit. [/QUOTE]
