"SEEKING ADMISSION" ~ 2 words that stand out in that article clearly indicates Rader sought to speak under oath in Judge Williams' court.. .contrast to past conjecture and speculation otherwise
ARTICLE ~ he is now seeking admission—suggested he had lost confidence in the Court and its "judicial temperament" (According to the American Bar Association, judicial temperament means that a judge exhibits "compassion, decisiveness, open-mindedness, sensitivity, courtesy, patience, freedom from bias and commitment to equal justice.") lawyer ~ In fact, without it, the rest of a judge’s qualities are of no value to litigants or the larger public they are supposed to serve. Judges who demonstrates anger (i.e. Noreika) or lack of patience is acting out of emotion which prevents clear and objective thinking and leads to rash decisions.
Mishcon article seems to parallel Rader's SAME CONTENTIOUS STRIFES regarding Chanbond lawyers. (a pattern of conduct highlighting premeditated, methodical, calibrated, cunning intentionality modus operandi)
addendum ~ if Rader had a drug/alcohol problem, surely it would have impacted his quarter of a century good standing with the California Bar. Additionally, it's prudent one does not represent clients that are highly attuned to assess drug/alcohol issues (i.e. police departments, police officer associations, police officers, firefighters as clients) _________________________________________________________
ARTICLE ~ Mishcon also claimed that, unbeknownst to the firm, the two ex-Mishcon partners, Mark Raskin and Robert Whitman, “had been negotiating an agreement with Defendant KWM since June 2019?, and that the firm’s recruitment of the partners has been “deliberate and calculated”.
~ multi-million dollar dispute in which Mishcon de Reya has accused King & Wood Mallesons of “poaching” two of its New York-based partners
court filings lodged at New York’s Supreme Court, Mishcon’s lawyers have accused KWM of recruiting two Mishcon partners in New York “in an attempt to poach” a lucrative piece of litigation from the firm.
the U.K.-based firm undertook work for ChanBond between 2015 and 2019, and invested more than $7.6 million in lawyer time
The action, filed in February this year, alleges that Raskin and Whitman “believed that if they could uproot the ChanBond matters from Mishcon, and move to a different firm they could avoid Mishcon’s…entitlement to fees, and retain for themselves a greater share of any fees earned”.
In its initial action, Mishcon demanded compensation in one of two ways: either the $7.6 million the firm said it invested in the ChanBond matters, or 87.7% of a 28.5% contingency fee, which Mishcon argued it was entitled to under its engagement letter with ChanBond.
If, as Mishcon’s lawyers have argued, the ChanBond litigation subsequently settled for $125 million, this would represent around $31 million.
KWM argued that the contract between Mishcon and ChanBond “unambiguously requires any and all fee disputes between them to ‘be finally settled by mandatory binding arbitration’”.
KWM further argues that Mishcon’s action against both it and ChanBond was an attempt to “avoid arbitration with ChanBond”, and that the action itself was proof that Mishcon had “disregarded its arbitration agreement”.
