Appellate tidbits

• Monday's DJ's Moskovitz on Appeals column was titled Waive Oral Argument? and concludes that "waiving oral argument might, in some cases, be best for your client."
• This Law.com article here [and Law360's article here] notes that superstar appellate lawyer Chris Landau made $3M last year at Quinn -- which was a big drop from the $11M he made at Kirkland the year before. And he anticipates receiving over $300K annually from Kirkland in benefits after he retires. Oh yeah, he's also "the Trump administration's pick for U.S. ambassador to Mexico," which is why he had to publicly disclose his finances. (BTW, "M" = million. Yeah, $11 million dollars. American dollars. Wow.)
• The 6th DCA's courtroom is undergoing renovation, so the court has announced that "Oral arguments scheduled in May will be held at the Downtown Superior Court located at 191 N First St., San Jose, Department 14 (Oral argument hearing room) on the 5th floor."
