Originally published in the June 5, 2012 issue of SmallLaw: Last month, Above the Law published a series of colorful email messages sent by a (now former) lawyer at Cozen O'Connor to opposing counsel that led to a motion for sanctions. In light of this incident, we thought it would be a good idea to explore a law practice skill not taught in law school — interacting with opposing counsel. In this issue of SmallLaw, veteran litigator Kristin Branson provides five valuable tips. These pearls of wisdom will not only prevent you from being mocked on Above the Law or worse, but they will also give you a strategic advantage over opposing counsel regardless of your area of practice.
