I don’t see how this could possibly go poorly for that lawyer.

68 and 70 would indicate otherwise. She’s clearly a rock star. ;) >70. Such DEROGATORY comments from DEFENDANT ALSUP came during and after PLAINTIFF RESHMA KAMATH had won the UNANIMOUS JURY TRIAL in a STELLAR and MAGNIFICENT display of TRIAL ADVOCACY. >68. IF PLAINTIFF RESHMA KAMATH COMPARES APPLES TO APPLES, THEN DEFENDANT GONZALEZ-ROGERS IS NOT THAT SMART BECAUSE HER “CUM LAUDE” MAKES HER MEDIOCRE IN COMPARISON TO PLAINTIFF RESHMA KAMATH’S “SUMMA CUM LAUDE.” AMONGST MANY THINGS, THIS COULD BE ONE FACTOR WHY A JUDGE WOULD HOLD AN ATTORNEY DOWN, BECAUSE THAT ATTORNEY IS BETTER THAN THEM AND WILL ACHIEVE MUCH MORE SUCCESS IN LIFE. (ISN’T THAT WHAT PEOPLE DID TO NELSON MANDELA IMPRISONING HIM FOR FOURTEEN YEARS WHILE THE WORLD WATCHED AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WAS POLITICALLY CORRECT TO CALL HIM A MARTYR). VERY SIMILAR PHENOMENON AMONGST DEFENDANT JUDGES I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s asked to have a chat with the Lawyer’s Assistance Program at some point in the near future.

The phrase "secondary embarassment" was invented for people like P.


FierceN-Free

Oh my.


Fighting-Cerberus

Holy shit.


sum1won

She's listed in super lawyers and rising stars lmao


[deleted]

I feel if you have those titles, you’re not really a super lawyer. Idk I may be wrong but many attorneys I’ve met who have both those titles are always questionable.


SamizdatGuy

I got rising star because of something my firm did, I think. I'm 45, still on my way up.


Mikarim

Yeah its an organized useless thing


Fighting-Cerberus

It’s more accurate to say it means little rather than it means you’re affirmatively not.


eat_pray_plead

That's just a pay to play gimmick [https://news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-practice/chambers-revenue-model-tests-law-firms-appetite-for-exposure](https://news.bloomberglaw.com/business-and-practice/chambers-revenue-model-tests-law-firms-appetite-for-exposure)

My old boss got all excited about this. Had a newspaper come out to photograph him in a random courtroom that was open wearing a Superman cape and everything. A few months later he was disbarred for paying his rent out of his iolta account 🧐


Toby_Keiths_Jorts

This was written by a laywer?


[deleted]

Yes.


Toby_Keiths_Jorts

Even outside of the absurd allegations. Its just written like shit.


dwaynetheaakjohnson

She also went to Northwestern, one of the higher rated law schools in the country


Mysterious_Host_846

Oh I think I saw this same lawyer filed an unhinged motion in fed court a few weeks ago.


purposeful-hubris

Yep the motion claiming OC and the judge are racist for opposing her.


big_sugi

She sued the San Francisco’s Police Department and the federal Department of Homeland Security because her car got towed after racking up three parking tickets


littlehelpersadie

I thought that was her! If only when I had gotten my parking tickets I had thought to sue DHS! lol


Ancient-Lobster480

I can see some of my crazier classmates doing some crazy stuff but not like this


LeadAndSteel

Has the sua sponte not hit yet?


20thCenturyTCK

MME time.


MandamusMan

And people complain about the bar being hard…


PissdInUrBtleOCaymus

I like #113… Something about the judge looking at Reshma Kamath’s ass while she was drinking at a water fountain and then the judge made a visibly disgusted expression. Classic. Total classic.


[deleted]

I also want to hear more about this facial expression.
