frustrated
Sep. 5th, 2007 09:04 pmI'm working on my replies to the objections to my summary judgment motions. I've very frustrated. Most of the arguement is semantics, some of it blatant falsehood, and some of it is accurate enough to be a problem. The most frustrating part is the repetition of the lies that are ultimately going to come down to his word against mine. Also the inane arguments made mostly by attempting to put words into my mouth and ignoring the timing of the events as they actually happened.
My biggest hurdle is that I really don't know what I'm doing. I've read a few real summary judgment motions, and have read a few paralegal texts books that covered writing motions in general, but I have no idea what really is or is not expected, permissable, or disallowed.
Throughout the last two years, I've had a fairly high degree of confidence that the judge has been able to see through all the nonsense and see both the defendant and his less than honorable attorney for what they really are. Of course, I have no idea at all how much that is the case, or not.
Right now I'm trying to calm down enough to be able to even write notes. I've not looked at anything from the court case in several weeks, yet in 2 minutes of reading, I'm getting just as spun-up about it as I was on day one. This, of course, is part of why people hire an attorney to deal with this stuff. There's a certain amount of value to be had in not just a knowledgeable person, but someone who is not emotionally invested in the matter to deal with it objectively.
Anyone want to come over and type for me while Irant dictate?
