Over my years as a law professor and practitioner, I have read thousands
of draft pleadings written by law students and junior lawyers. Their quality varies, but I would be hard-pressed to think of a more incompetent piece of advocacy than that produced by Donald Trumps defense team, for a client they insistently refer to as €śthe 45th President of the United States€ť. The first line of the brief is directed to €śthe Honorable, the Members of the Unites States Senate.€ť There are probably three errors in that first line. No need for the first comma, or €śthe€ť before Members. €śThe Honorable Members€ť would have been fine. And unless the alternative Trump legal universe is appealing to the senators of an alternative Unites States, that €śs€ť after €śUnite€ť would be error number three. €śUnites€ť is, if not the correct word, at least a word, meaning an automated spellcheck would not pick it up. But really, did no human cast their eyes over the first line of a pleading to be submitted for the former president of the United States in an impeachment trial? And remarkably, there it is again, on page nine: €śThe Honorable, the Members of the Unites States Senate.€ť So the new legal team apparently does know how to cut and paste, but it seems no one even looked at the text when they used that odd locution a second time. Then theres the matter of length. The brief is fourteen pages total. It serves as a response to a dense, 80-page legal brief filed by House impeachment managers to outline their case against Trump. If this were a boxing match, it would have been stopped by the top of page two. https://uk.yahoo.com/news/ve-practic...171155382.html |
