Justice William Bedsworth, the Jim Murray of judicial wordsmiths, has authored an opinion well worth reading: Lasalle v. Vogel, 2019 DJDA 5093 (Cal. App. 4th Dist., Div. 3, June 11, 2019). Beloved by the Orange County legal community for his wit and good humor, Justice Bedsworth is serious when on the bench. Written with Bedsworthian panache, Lasalle v. Vogel addresses a serious subject, and a preoccupation of Justice Bedsworth: professional civility.And concludes:
Justice Bedsworth deserves a shout-out for penning the opinion in Lasalle v. Vogel. Like the earlier case he mentions, it should get the bar's attention. But we won't be shocked if it doesn't. The struggle to promote civility in the profession is a never-ending one, and we should be thankful that Justice Bedsworth undertakes that Sisyphean feat.Also, the CLA Litigation Section's Litigation Update for June 2019 is out!
