OK, here's the deal.
We've had innumerable pages describing what Berman should do, and why. In fact, portions of this discussion have been as probing and thoughtful as anything you'd find in many law reviews. Contributions from non-lawyers have raised questions experienced lawyers struggle to answer definitively. As of the moment, we still don't know what Berman will do in this classic standoff between law and equity.
I'd like to run a modest contest for the next week or ten days. Tell us what you think Berman will do, and why. Keep the answers concise, say less than 200 words and post the responses in this thread. Be clear in your response; keep the waffles in the kitchen. Explain the rationale. Contest open to all, lawyers and civilians alike.
(Well maybe except for the firm of Nash and Pash.)
Once Berman rules, the membership will determine by vote (one per member) who came closest to the thrust and the analysis of the actual order. Their decision is final, binding and non appealable.
The winner can determine which charity s/he'd like to benefit and I'll make a $300 contribution in the winner's honor. If for some reason the parties settle, I'll make the contribution to the Jimmy Fund, in the
honor of SOSH's membership as a whole.
If anyone else wants to jump in the pool, the more the better. We've got to find some way to kill time till the next hearing.
Edit: Voting above. I'll add names as you post your answer here.
