counsel received what would normally be considered an outstanding
verdict (over $15 million). The problem: He did so by repeatedly
ignoring the Court's pre-trial rulings on important evidentiary issues
and by personally insulting Ford's witnesses. The court found
Plaintiff's counsel's behavior to be so bad, that it ordered a new
trial. The lesson: Zealous advocacy is great, but play fair and by the
rules.
