If judge is correct that he admitted improper testimony, the remedy is new trial. That would give plaintiffs the opportunity to use a different approach to prove their case. But allowing plaintiffs to use the approach and then doing a switcheroo after the fact via JNOV is wrong.

@AlizaShatzman enjoyed returning to the California Appellate Law Podcast to speak w/ @NotTimKowal & @JeffLewisLaw abt the nuanced situation in the Fed Cir: an inquiry into Judge Pauline Newman’s alleged disability & workplace conduct. #CALP #judiciary #clerkships 👇
We can both acknowledge we owe a debt of gratitude to trailblazers like Judge Newman and also underscore that no judge should serve forever. Enjoyed returning to the California Appellate Law Podcast to speak w/ @NotTimKowal & @JeffLewisLaw. 👇podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…

Just finished recording our interview of @steve_vladeck with @NotTimKowal. What’s wrong with the court making decisions on stay requests on its shadow docket and what institutional changes might remedy that problem? Fascinating, non-partisan approaches are possible…
Just in case you haven't read *enough* about #SCOTUS this week (or somehow want to read even more about it this summer), @BasicBooks is offering a 20% discount off of "The Shadow Docket" for orders placed directly through its website (code: "VLADECK20"): hachettebookgroup.com/titles…

Just finished our interview with @CecereCarl for the California Appellate Law Podcast. Which font does Carl hate? Who should be the main character of an opening brief? How has he navigated the shift from Big Law. Look for our interview to drop next week. @NotTimKowal

Update: I hope everyone had a nice April Fool’s Day. Although our podcast is not actually expanding to Texas, the hosts of the Texas Podcast, @jodyssanders and @dtoddsmith , were gracious enough to come be interviewed on our show. No joke. That interview will drop on Thursday.

Big news. The podcast @NotTimKowal and I have been working on the last few years has really grown and we are going to be expanding to Texas. This is a natural move for me as I was born in Dallas, Texas. Look for the podcast to drop Thursday with rebranding as inclusive of Texas

I have six appeals in the pipeline, evenly split between appellants and respondents. According to the general predictive powers of the bespoke CALPodcast.com with @nottimkowal and @jefflewislaw, it should shape up to a batting average eclipsing Ted Williams' best year.
