The DJ continues its stream of SoCal appellate profiles with Justice McIntyre today, featuring quotes describing him as "down to earth," "very straightforward, practical, no-nonsense" -- a pragmatic judge who deflates the theoretical or eggheadedness of appellate law and brings things down to practical realities.
In terms of writing style, he keeps it short and simple: "A Lawyer should be able to tell you in two sentences what a case is about."
Readers of 4/1 decisions may have noticed that Justice McIntyre's opinions don't use footnotes and don't have a lot of wind-up: As he's been known to put it, "Context is overrated."
