Litigators, how are we keeping track of entity names? It’s been 10 years of practice and I’ll be darned, I still CONSTANTLY get screwed up thinking about my cases because ABC Inc, ABC LLC, and Abra Bibbity Cadabra are all different entities I can’t keep straight in my mind . . .

My assistant puts it on the info card for the matter. I just put down quick notes on which is which. Sometimes I even do a little handwritten doodle with arrows for the relationships. There’s probably a better way, but that works for me when there’s like 6 entities all with the same name.

If you ever lost a case because the entity name wasn’t correct, you are scared for life. I had a case where it was mentioned Compsny X but no LLC or anything. In other docs it was mentioned Compsny X Mangenent LLC, so we know what they meant. Well that entity was closed and out of business. But Plantiffs sued all of the other entities, lost summary judgement because of dispute of fact and had to settle.

At what point do you begin to feel numb (if ever) when you’re done trial and prepping for another trial in a span of 3 months, while mains full caseload of other active litigation cases? Should I be worried that I’m going from engaged and stress to numb and slightly indifferent? Or is this what it feels like to power through? I can’t gauge it anymore? And can’t impose judgment one way or another either.
