On Ed Hillâ??s email below. I also took a day off and attended the case a
number of years back when Evan argued in from of the California Supreme
Court judges. As Ed implies, Evan was not intimidated and did a great job on
a difficult case (I am guessing if they make it as far as this one did it
must be a difficult case). To me, Evan is the consummate trial attorneyâ?¦.he
reminded me of what we see on TV shows at times. If I ever needed a
trial attorney, I know who I would pick.
It was more fun knowing Ed and Peter were behind me. We get to face a
panel of judges who are elevated to show you that you remain one of the little
people. It was great fun to stand and be face to face with the justices of
the Supreme Court. After the hearing I went to lunch with Peter and got
to discuss what he saw.
By the time you argue before the Supremes, you usually know everything
they are going to throw at you. This time, they had nothing to ask me, that I
didn't expect.
The only question that got me pausing was when Chief Justice George asked
me, "Mr. Ginsburg. If we go with your theory of land owner liability, how
do we deal with the problem of businesses leaving California due to the
cost of doing business?"
What flashed into my mind was to say; "Listen schmuck. We are the
judiciary, and we just follow the law. It is up to the Legislature to deal
with
public policy."
But, having learned to take my licks at dog shows, I held myself back.
What I said was; "Chief Justice George, that is an interesting question.
But, I am but a lawyer trying to argue the law."
I saw a grin start on his face. I know he knew what I wanted to say.
I often think that way in court, and at times at dog shows. There is what
you want to say, what you say, and then later what you wish you had said.
Not that there is anything wrong with that.
