What do you think the odds are of a legal malpractice claim against Alex Jones’ attorneys for the inadvertent text turnover?

Weren't they already requested in discovery and just not produced? That's what is unclear to me. I suspect either version (requested and not produced, or mistakenly produced) could result in a bar complaint but whether it actually results on disciplinary action is another question

It’s a bit unclear to me too but it seems like there’s an ethics complaint coming either way but I’m not sure about the legal mal claim, I think given the verdict and assuming they’re insured it is probably a given.

put it this way, at the very least he wont be paying that trial invoice.

as to malpractice it would hinge on the “case within the case” and this was damages only trial - we often overlook that. it is a hilariously bad blunder though and will certainly be plead by fresh counsel.

Was there a policy at the time of trial? I assumed he was paying out of pocket especially after admitted liability order related to discovery abuse. Assumed that would have given insurer an out. Heard he raises 9M in defense funds from listeners.

Oh no idea, I meant his attorneys’ professional liability policy.

Hey everyone! This is my first time posting but I thought I’d try to ask, I received a request from a recruiter to interview for a new insurance company I’ve never heard of: Branch. Looked it up and it seems to be a new “Techsurance” company working with both home and auto policies. Does anyone have any information they could share about this company? Thank you!

It is absolutely insane to me how recruiter ghosting is acceptable in the world of working professionals.

I don’t care how busy they are. They seem to respond really promptly to all of my emails, but the second I am no longer of use to them, they’re too busy to fire off a ten word email.

Sending one more email letting me know that I’m not being considered for a position does not take long.

And after I took time out of my day to interview, it is the absolute least they can do.

So, for the first time in a long time, I’ll be taking a full-time agency job. They’re sending me a company laptop. I have no plans to do anything nefarious or stupid on it, but wondering how much the agency keeps tabs on it. Like, do y’all add your personal email accounts to it? Or your personal calendar and contacts? Social media usage on it, etc?

I have a good belief to believe I, and others of my kind are being systemically discriminated against at work. There was a particular incident recently that affected me. I am the in house employment counsel for the company - and now feel like I am in a weird position. Can I file an EEO complaint against my client, or do they just get to do whatever they want to me? Obviously outside counsel would need to be hired, and a wall put up. Looking for info thanks.
