THANK YOU Dodece. I've recently run into a very, very difficult case in which I'm essentially guaranteed to lose, because as the claimant the burden of proof is on my side, and quite simply things aren't shaping up as well as I'd hoped.
But you've given me hope! I now intend to take a page out of your book, and submit a brief to opposing counsel and the court in which I will essentially say "yes my side made that (now counter-intuitive, man I wished my supervising attorney had done some research into this first) claim earlier, but I'm not sure anyone's going to listen to me if I did the work, so YOU do it for me. Here's the people you'll need to interview, here's where the local law library is, and here's how I would generally go about it.
"Please get back to me by next Wednesday. 'Kaythanxbai!"
Why didn't I think of this before...?
