Asking my 9YO some Civil Procedure review questions.
Her answers were pretty good (not accurate; just funny) until we got to “what is offensive non-mutual collateral estoppel.”
Then, things went off the rails.

Gotta argue it!
When I clerked in that court (yay state-court clerkships) the judge I worked for didn’t like a throwaway “argument,” cited the rule that briefs must contain “Argument in support of the party's position,” & tossed it. 🗑️ Can’t just slap down a cite and say “so we win,” gotta argue it.
