Mike Maslanka: Dealing With Dysfunctional Counsel
January 26, 2008 by Ross Runkel at LawMemo
You've been there. The lawyer on the other side takes no prisoners, runs to the courthouse whenever their hair gets mussed up, and otherwise engages in grandstanding, hyperbole, and other unprofessional conduct they must have picked up from bad TV shows.
What to do?
Michael P. Maslanka has written Dealing With Dysfunctional Counsel, which has some answers. We reproduce it here from the January edition of In-House Texas.
The article is written for general counsel.
Mike suggests that GC use their positions as bully pulpits to urge judges to be judges.
He also has some cute advice that he derives from two of my favorites: Muhammad Ali and Buddha.
Michael P. Maslanka is an employment law expert who manages Ford & Harrison's Dallas, Texas office, and is an all-around nice guy.
