So, yesterday we filed some documents at the Court. After we emailed courtesy copies to opposing counsel, they alerted us to the fact that we had the department wrong. Now, we are assigned to one department for everything, but this specific hearing is being heard in a different department ...
So, we prepare a courtesy copy to deliver to the department today. Our runner goes up today to deliver a courtesy copy and the department (12) won't take the papers because they have the 'wrong' department on it (19, where we're assigned) ... So, then we try to re-file the documents by fixing the face pages down at the copy room ... No, we can't file it again because it's already been filed!
So we can't deliver courtesy copies and we can't re-file it ... how is the department supposed to get the docs! Except for to wait for Dept. 19 to forward it to Dept. 12 ... *headdesk*
There are many days where I can't stand the legal system ...
