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. "
