Ah, the halcyon days of Boies, Schiller & Flexner, when they hit the motherlode with the Sotheby's suit...lo, where have all the flowers gone? David Boies lost yesterday in Manhattan Supreme Court on his charge that the ban on cameras in New York State courtrooms violates the First Amendment of the U.S. and New York state constitutions. The suit was brought by Court TV. Details of the case can be found here. If you think I'm disparaging Dave I'm not, he's a brilliant man, especially before a judge. I've personally seen him in action and judges on the whole are enthralled by his compelling performances. Of course, you have to appreciate anyone who can wear black Reebok sneakers to court and get away with it. But before you get out your hankerchiefs to mourn his defeat, the very same day his firm was appointed lead counsel in the fashion model class action suit. Let's all say it together...."Poor Dave."
