Comical excerpts from the MSFT trial

A classic by Judge Jackson:
" "The code of tribal wisdom says that when you
discover you are riding a dead horse, the best
strategy is to dismount.

"In law firms, we often try other strategies with
dead horses, including the following: buying a
stronger whip; changing riders; saying things
like 'this is the way we have always ridden this
horse'; appointing a committee to study the
horse; arranging to visit other firms to see how
they ride dead horses; increasing the standards
to ride dead horses; declaring that the horse is
better, faster, and cheaper dead; and finally,
harnessing several dead horses together for
increased speed."

More Judge Jackson:
" University of Pennsylvania professor David
Farber: "I'm not going to criticize the court."
Judge Jackson: "Oh, go ahead."
