I Love the Law
I have a trial that starts at nine in the morning. I just got an Email from the opposing counsel attaching a proposed Amended Pre-trial Order, the document that controls what issues will be tried, that she proposes we file in the morning. Said opposing counsel just figured out that there were several claims of her client that weren’t included in the current Order and suggested that we file the “cleaned up” amendment tomorrow. I declined. Wish me luck.

Good luck. Hope you get some sleep too:0
Yes. Best wishes.
Now, can you tell that story again in english? As I have no clue what any of those legalese nouns are. Hence, I have no idea if I am correct in assuming that what she was asking for was a bit like one of my customers telling me two days before launch about a requirement that should have been in the specifications months earlier.
Sounds like you might have a productive settlement conference before you ever get to trial....
Non-legalize? OK, prior to trial, the parties draft a document that is submitted to the judge who approves it. It freezes the issues to be tried. The other side left out two of their claims which are therefore not to be tried. Oops.
Curmudgeon, no settlement conference.
Trial continues tomorrow.
I believe my legales response to opposing counsel would be "Pound sand".
So how did it go?
A last minute change sounds like the kind of thing that should be rejected.
