| 00:11 | - Hey Isabella, did you finish reviewing that answer brief and how is our draft reply brief looking?
|
| 00:16 | - Yes I did have a chance to review it but I noticed that in appellee's brief, they cited to the old rule, which I thought was weird because the Supreme Court decision just ruled that the old rule no longer applies.
|
| 00:26 | - Well, the old rule helps our case.
|
| 00:29 | I'm surprised they didn't cite the new rule because that helps their case.
|
| 00:32 | - The new rule does help their case, but I still think we have a valid argument under the new rule.
|
| 00:37 | What kind of standard would you like me to do in our brief?
|
| 00:39 | - I think raising and relying on the new rule is the proper course of action here.
|
| 00:43 | The draft reply brief should lead with and use the new rule.
|
| 00:47 | If it's the correct rule, then it's the one we need to use.
|
| 00:50 | Just because the appellee's might have missed it is no excuse.
|
| 00:53 | The court probably won't miss it, and either way, that's the right thing to do.
|
| 00:57 | We'll just make our best arguments under the new broader standard and I'll explain to the client whatever the result.
|
| 01:03 | Thank you so much for your hard work on this.
|
| 01:05 | - Yes, of course.
|
| 01:06 | I'll use the new rule and I'll let you know when the brief is done.
|
| 01:09 | - Amazing, thank you. Thanks.
