I really enjoyed that part. Of course my fee was a bit higher for days
spent in court (very enjoyable!) and I like to dictate the questions to
the
opposing lawyer for his cross - and most would fall for it. The best
invariably was a cross question not quite related to the case at hand
which
was so easy to answer: "Sorry, that's out of my expertise and I'm not
qualified to answer." And the judge breaking in telling him to stop
wasting
time and keep it relevant. What's nicer than having his honor on your
side!
The best I ever had was actually right close to home on an amateur radio
antenna/zoning case (no charge of course) with K3DSF vs U.S.Steel. Two
of
us were :Pete's expert witnesses, myself and K3BNS, now W3BE, who
subsequently became FCC's head of personal (Amateur and CB) in DC, and
until recently QCWA president. Story is fairly long - maybe another time
here. But the case - l963 +/- is well known to ARRL, and I don't know
why
it hasn't set a precedent for the covenant restriction crap. But I'm no
lawyer, so what do I know. Dave, K3TX
One time after leaving my foot prints all over the power company defense
attorney in deposition the attorney who had hired me teased me about not
respecting that attorney's glorious years as a quarter back for the
University of Iowa football team. I pointed out that this was the real
world, not a game in a stadium, and besides I don't care about football
and didn't know his history. That one didn't go to trial either.
