"Here's the thing about the words "Costumes optional." It may seem "optional," but that reads a whole lot like a dare. Do you want to show up in business attire when the other side agreed to the judge's whimsical invitation? Is there some junior associate at Weil billing .3 to "Trip to Spirit Halloween" for a David S. Pumpkins suit right now?"
"It's a "treat" that the court has opened the door to costumes. The Steptoe team will be coming as superheroes (the ones who don't wear capes). Somehow I don't think they mean the Incredibles, who famously do not wear capes.] To demonstrate the parties' good faith negotiation powers, maybe the lead attorneys could coordinate and arrive in a Vincent Gambini maroon tuxedo and an Elle Woods pink Jackie Kennedy outfit? Unfortunately, My Cousin Vinny is a 20th Century Fox productio"
Lawyers from Weil Gotshal and Steptoe will appear in the Southern District of New York for a hearing in WarnerMedia Network Sales v. DISH Network L.L.C. The dispute centers on a license allowing DISH to air Warner programming and DISH's repackaging of that content for day-to-day or week-to-week purchase through SlingTV, which Warner objects to. The hearing falls on Halloween and the judge indicated "costumes optional," prompting commentary about whether counsel will dress up. Steptoe said its team will come as superheroes who don't wear capes. Observers speculated about playful costume coordination between lead attorneys.
