[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Women’s groups now taking position against male feminist Justin Baldoni’s weaponization of defamation claims, but sure, he is just a poor widdle victim here. [/quote]

This is not going to appeal to this particular judge.  Very bad strategic choice.[/quote]

I doubt he would encourage that. 
Wow, I think you are so wrong. I’m not saying he welcomes more briefs to read with open arms but one of these briefs takes a close look at application of California state law, which if he chooses to apply CA law I think he will look at.  Briefs like this that dissect the law in matter of fact language without making wild, dumb accusations against the parties are generally going to be accepted by judges, including Liman.   [/quote]

Agreed. I clerked for a federal judge and a well written amicus brief on an issue like this was generally welcomed because it facilitated our internal analysis of the law[b]. There may be amicus briefs arguing the other side of this specific issue as well ([/b]application of the CA law that protects SH accusers from defamation claims), and that could greatly reduce the work for Liman and his staff. Of course they will do their own research of the relevant law and precedents, but well composed amicus briefs are generally welcome. They focus on the law and not the parties. It's helpful.[/quote]

Who even would be the advocacy groups against this? Men's rights advocates? Free speech groups? [/quote]

lol, that’s true and I wonder whether we will see men’s rights groups filing amicus briefs on Baldoni’s behalf. It will clarify for people what he’s really arguing here, I guess. [/quote][/quote]

I doubt he would encourage that. You may not like him, but there’s really no evidence he’s a jerk [/quote]

I believe they can file amicus briefs on his behalf without his involvement. [/quote]

Sure, but again, I doubt he’d encourage it [/quote]
