Oops!! $6,000 in Attorney Sanctions for Failure to Notify Appellate Court Case Had Settled

By Victoria Pynchon

ADVERTISEMENTS

Nothing irritates a court more than doing unnecessary work because counsel fails to comply with the local rules.  Here in Huschke v. Slater, the Court was sufficiently put out to order that the attorney "personally" pay the sanctions ("don't even think about asking your client to pay, buster!") and to order the opinion published for all the world to see.

Like that pesky appeal where the Court called my client a "school yard bully" for failing to stipulate to the genuine nature of the insurance policies at issue (and no I am not providing a link to that one).  Ordered it published too. Grrrrrrrr.

I'm filing this one under "Advice to Young Lawyers" in the hope that they do not have to learn how to ignite the appellate court's wrath the hard way.

Hey!  Let's all be careful out there!
