The United States Court of Appeals recent published opinion, 373 F.3d 1; regarding attorney David Efron's advocacy:
-
"...review makes it abundantly clear that the plaintiff's counsel gave no quarter. He took full advantage of the sympathetic nature of his case and, on occasion, he sailed close to the wind. We find no indication, however, that counsel crossed the thin line that separates vigorous advocacy from impermissible appeals to passion or prejudice....we find no indication that improper rhetoric influenced the outcome of the trial.. There is a critical difference between a lawyer that hits hard and a lawyer that hits below the belt.....The plaintiff's opening statement and closing argument in this case both were hard-hitting, but neither was manifestly improper.
