Judge Albert G. (“Scholar Al”) Lauber ordered the parties in Royalty Management Insurance Company, Ltd., et al., Docket No. 3823-19, filed 12/14/23, to do just what James Joyce said. Examine the facts and set forth what facts you want Judge Scholar Al to find, based upon the trial record, but belay the legal argy-bargy.

IRS does just that, but the Royals’ attorneys don’t. Twice.

You can read for yourselves how to irritate and antagonize the judge of your case. If you think you’ve benefited your client thereby, have your explanation ready when you get The Phone Call.

Oh, btw, have your checking account handy when you get the sanctions.
