[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Re: The NAG discussion here. I don't think she's out of her depth. I just think she's willing to offer predictions compared to other content creators, which is fun for us, but riskier and makes her more vulnerable to her audience when she gets those things wrong. If she were to just stick to explaining why judges made certain decisions after the fact, she wouldn't appear unknowledgeable. [/quote]

Her predictions don't bother me. I just find it weird when she says things that don't really make sense for someone who supposedly litigates in federal court regularly. Her reaction to the Lively "courtesy letter" was really weird to me. That's a really standard thing when you have cases involving diversity jurisdiction because it's not uncommon to have subpoenas out in other jurisdictions and to want to keep the judge apprised. So when NAG acted like this was a really unorthodox thing for Lively's lawyers to do, it just set off my spidey sense like hmm, this person might be pretending to more authority than she really as.

The thing is, she's right about a lot of the law and procedure, so if she's faking experience in federal court she's actually doing a pretty good job. But if the actual situation is that she has a different kind of experience or maybe is a more recent law grad or something, I wish she'd just say that and be honest. It's okay to say "I'm basing this off my read of the FRCP, not personal experience" or to acknowledge that you may not know how common a certain practice is. But NAG has presented herself as an experienced litigator in fed court and I'm not sure that's the case.[/quote]

I’m an experienced litigator and it is obvious to me that NAG is as well.  You, on the other hand,  . . .[/quote]
