Message: <blockquote data-quote="Wincenworks" data-source="post: 9159800" data-attributes="member: 7038835">Oh yeah, don't get me wrong - his performance is terrible and if he ends up getting publicly censured by the judge it will entirely his own fault - my main point is that it is not him just signing things Justin drafts, it's more likely a combination of him being over confident, burned out, putting himself in the shoes of his client instead of maintaining professional distance and generally not being willing to do the work and have the candour that the case requires.If Justin were ghost writing it, as people have proposed, it'd be much funnier and full of weird accusations in the form of unhelpful annotations ("Tell us all about your emails with ... (who will be going to prison soon due to federal crimes) and how the two of you criminally conspired against me...").  Like his thesis is purely from Justin's imagination, but it's like... the best version of things from Justin's imagination, polished up with some surface level research and the assumption that the other side will just cave in due to costs at any moment.I suspect that this is part of why this fiasco has gone on for a year - the judge wants this one-and-done, and so wants to ensure that Justin had adequate opportunity to make his case, and assess the effectiveness of his counsel.  She does not want to it to be appealed on a claim of her cutting corners, etc and she will not shed a single tear if Justin does take up a suit against his lawyer for malpractice.</blockquote>
