Multi-district litigation is painful, when your client is sued across the country. It becomes excrutiating when you client also decides to take the high road, by trying the cases one by one instead of settling them all at once. The determination is admirable, but carrying it out is cruel.

There are not many professions like litigation, where other people build up their careers by discrediting yours; where someone makes a living by constantly undoing what you have done.  Well, save for politicians of course.  As you might have guessed from my frequent whining blogs lately, we are working on a very tough case against an opposing counsel who eats us for breakfast, ... lunch and dinner.  God bless his stomach. 

I brushed up my old copy of The Godfather tonight.  Doesn't the Corleone family keep their own lawyers and judges? If the Godfather were to offer me a job now, I probably wouldn't mind taking it.
