#Morocco is a beautiful country, with an incredible mix of cultures. The home of 38 million and the 5th largest economy in Africa, I wanted to learn more about #litigation there. unpredictableblog.com/blog/Morocco

People often view the legal system as deciding what conduct is unacceptable. But it also decides the consequences. I wrote a post about what a #lawsuit can do to benefit the people who come to court to complain about someone else’s misconduct. unpredictableblog.com/blog/relief-2

Since I have handled a lot of #litigation in New York State courts, I thought I would share my experience with certain documents that appear in my home state’s courts that I have not seen in federal courts. unpredictableblog.com/blog/nyscef

#Haiti has experienced political instability for some time. But like any society, disputes arise and lawyers help with them. And I was fortunate enough to ask Marie Josette Georges, an attorney in Cap-Haïtien, about commercial litigation in Haiti. unpredictableblog.com/blog/Haiti

A release is the document that ensures that one person will sue someone else. A heavily negotiated and often misunderstood part of #litigation. I share my original post on them, together with the new thoughts I’ve had in the past few years. unpredictableblog.com/blog/releases-…

When people think of #litigation, they often think of lawyers who go to a tall building and sit in their office near a shelf full of law books. But changes in the technology that attorneys use have made it easier for litigators like me to work from home. unpredictableblog.com/blog/house

There are rules in #litigation that set deadlines for people to do things. It is often challenging to figure out what those deadlines are and some are firmer than others. unpredictableblog.com/blog/deadlines

South Korea is an economic powerhouse and leader in technology and investment. So lawyers for commercial disputes are in high demand. I was fortunate to speak with Hyung Won Nahm from @yulchon in Seoul, to learn about litigation in #Korea. unpredictableblog.com/blog/korea

It is rare that everything works out for a client the way they wanted. Since #litigation is unpredictable, setbacks and disappointment is practically inevitable. So part of a litigator’s job is to manage a client’s expectations and to deliver bad news. unpredictableblog.com/blog/bad-news

Luxembourg is a thriving commercial center and home to some wealthy people. Since there is so much about its system for commercial dispute resolution I wanted to understand, I was grateful to speak with Nicolas Thieltgen about litigation in #Luxembourg. unpredictableblog.com/blog/luxembourg

I talk to people about #litigation in different jurisdictions, from Palau to Nigeria. But a major forum for disputes that I haven’t explored yet is #California. So I was lucky that Luis Avila was kind enough to write for the blog about his work there. unpredictableblog.com/blog/california

Many litigants ask whether they can get their adversaries to reimburse them for the costs of #litigation. It depends on the applicable law and the terms of any applicable contract. And the mechanism of getting reimbursed is technical and requires work. unpredictableblog.com/blog/fees

Since I don’t focus my practice on litigating on behalf of injured parties, I knew I needed to get some insight from someone who did. And so I was fortunate enough to speak with my friend @HaickenLaw to learn more about personal injury litigation. unpredictableblog.com/blog/personal-…

I’ve been to #Ireland a few times now and it’s a wonderful country filled with interesting people, rich history, and, better weather than I expected. So I was lucky to speak with a partner at @ejcsolicitors in Cork, to learn about Irish #litigation. unpredictableblog.com/blog/ireland

Many plaintiffs use the RICO statute to sue people, seeking large cash payments, a reason to claim federal court jurisdiction, and substantial media attention. But it is very hard to succeed in civil RICO #litigation. unpredictableblog.com/blog/rico

In my very first post on my #litigation blog, back in April 2020, I wrote about case law research. I re-read the original post and share some new thoughts in a post. unpredictableblog.com/blog/research-…

When a plaintiff obtains a judgment, they may even need to go back to court for more #litigation to collect the money. Those lawsuits are called “turnover proceedings” and they address situations when a judgment debtor transmits assets to a third party. unpredictableblog.com/blog/turnover

Some motions need to be decided in a hurry, or the law that allows the motion requires a special procedure for the motion. In those situations, some courts allow litigants to present an “order to show cause” instead of a notice of motion. unpredictableblog.com/blog/otsc

Immediately after a bench #trial is over, parties write the judge to tell her what she just saw and why the facts support a conclusion in their favor. And before most trials, judges invite submissions too. unpredictableblog.com/blog/pre-and-p…

I visited Malmo and Lund when I was studying in Copenhagen and I can also tell you #Sweden can be very cold. And that frost may not just reflect the Nordic climate, but extend to business disputes, too. unpredictableblog.com/blog/Sweden
