It's a Rematch in SCO's Appeal: Jacobs for Novell, Singer for SCO

By Pamela Jones et al.

Morrison & Foerster's Michael A. Jacobs will once again be representing Novell at oral argument in SCO's second appeal:

02-Dec-2010 9820392 - Oral Argument Acknowledgment Form filed by Novell, Inc.. Served on 02-Dec-2010. Manner of Service: ECF/NDA.

So it's a rematch, Boies Schiller's Stuart Singer for SCO [PDF] and Jacobs for Novell, just like at oral argument in SCO's first appeal.

If you are planning to attend the January 20th oral argument at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver, Colorado, and I hope you are since the court doesn't in the normal course provide transcripts, be sure to call the court about a week beforehand, to make sure of what you can and can't have with you in the way of digital equipment and to verify the precise date, time, and courtroom, which will be announced about a week before it happens if there is a change. Right now, it's scheduled for January 20, 2011 at 9:00 am MST in Courtroom IV, Byron White United States Courthouse, Denver, at the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, but verify closer to the date. Last time, laptops were allowed inside, but cell phones were confiscated and returned after the hearing. If you are allowed to bring your laptops in again this time, you might want to have some resources handy, at least SCO's appeal brief, Novell's opposition, and SCO's reply. It's SCO's appeal, so the topics will be those they raised in their briefs.
