I heard that accusation made recently by a lawyer to an opposing counsel in court. And to be honest I don’t often step onto the civility soapbox because that’s not an agenda I care too much about. My philosophy is rooted in serving our clients’ best interests which frankly is usually served by being civil.
Yet I did find the above statement rather galling as it was made directly to a judge in open court. In Cook County these days you can get something file-stamped at the no fee drop boxes w/o really filing something and perhaps avoid paying a fee. But the issue here is that the fee issue is a Circuit Clerk problem and not a substantive issue in the legal matter and thus not of the lawyer’s concern.
What does the accusing attorney here gain by such a reckless comment?
