I have the brief you gave cliff this morning.
The plaintiff's opposition to the defendant's
motion? I have a few notes.
I think they're pretty clear,
but it's probably easier if we
just go over them together.
Jesus. Those are cliff's?
No, they're my notes.
I'd love to go over them now,
if you have a minute.
It looks worse than it is, it's just that
we have a particular house style.
Okay, no offense, but you're
a second-year associate, right?
And I came in as a fourth-year.
So, why is a second-year
giving notes to a fourth-year?
- Well, like I said, I know the house style.
- Does cliff have you babysitting me?
No! This is just one associate helping another.
Like here, the Roman numeral headings?
We use all-caps for those.
And you indented them, which is perfectly fine,
but cliff likes them cantered.
And before I forget,
we put two spaces after a period
on all our documents.
I know it seems like a minor thing,
but it really looks so much cleaner on the page.
You went a tad overboard with the quotations.
It's okay to present a quote
from a controlling legal opinion,
but when you use too many,
it disrupts the flow of your argument
and it gives the impression you don't know
how to write an argument of your own.
And I'm sure you do, so...
You have a tendency to overuse
the words "clearly" and "obviously."
Again, it's a matter of personal opinion...

Dieser 10-Minuten-Rückblick mit Normal-Chuck zu Beginn war Langweilig wie
Fick. Will niemand sehen. Die viel zu lange Spanish-My-Way-Montage mit Kim
auch nicht. Aber der Salamanca... Gänsehaut.
