Missing a one particular email is NOT "bad lawyering." There were twenty or so. When doing so bites you back, it is definitely bad lawyering. Plus, bad lawyering is in my opinion determined in hindsight. The young lawyers in the kinds of firms hired by Q are typically top of the class folks who are paid exceedingly good salaries. Even if it were a puppy lawyer's fault, does the partner in charge say, "Sorry my associate screwed up, not my fault, here's the fee bill, pay it in 10 days, please." There's a lot more to lawyer that sifting through someone's email inbox. No doubt about it. But there is also the tedious work which has to performed exactingly and precisely and with dedication even if it may be deadly boring. That's why those young guys and gals make the big bucks. And maybe it was someone on Q's staff who blew it, who knows. I am super compulsive about these kinds of things as I was trained by someone who instilled the fact that details matter. I had days when I absolutely hated the SOB, when I had to revise a document for the umpteenth time until it was dead perfect, but I am now thankful that I got the kind of training I got. It has served me well and I'm grateful for it despite the fact that it nearly drove me crazy. Sloppiness is deadly in the legal world and we got a taste of how deadly it can be in this case. I repeat: for the kind of money paid, errors are inexcusable. But it's not just the emails, it was the entire trial. Stan, another of our thread members who does trial law, and I started to comment about the lapses nearly from the day the trial started.
