  1. 23-story rocket blasts off in California

    If you were in Southern California on Thursday afternoon and happened to notice what looked like a skyscraper darting across the sky, you weren’t seeing things. That was the Delta IV Heavy Launch Vehicle, the largest rocket ever to launch from the West Coast.
    Since the craft is 235 feet tall — roughly 23 stories — officials were worried that the force of the liftoff blast might break windows or spread earthquake fears in the area, the Los Angeles Times reported.

    The three-engine rocket is thought to carry a top-secret U.S. spy satellite, the Times said, that is “capable of snapping pictures detailed enough to distinguish the make and model of an automobile hundreds of miles below.”

  2. m4l, in experience, I’ve also found that I come to learn things about my clients that I couldn’t begin to imagine at the outset of the representation. And they don’t care about me interviewing or deposing their exes because they know I won’t give anything up about them – and it’s not like I expect the exes to tell me the truth when they never have before.

  3. So does a lawyer need to get an OK from their client in order to talk to the “other side”? how does that work?
    What if the “other side” does say something that the client didn’t want revealed? What happens?

  4. “I’m always happy to listen to what the other side has to say – in an interview, deposition, etc.”

    But your client may not be happy about that. As the other side might say something to incriminate them.
    Everybody is out for themselves. They’ll say whatever they need to make themselves the better. When someone has nothing to lose, then they’ll speak the truth.

  5. “CGar, is there an expiration on that privilege?”

    Never, m4l. Privileged info I know is kept in a steel trap locked in a vault, and I take it to the grave with me. I’m always happy to listen to what the other side has to say – in an interview, deposition, etc. – but I still never give up anything my client tells me.
