Feeling stunned and brutalized, I assume roughly like a hurricane victim who watched their house go out to sea

How bad is trying to file something with partners breathing down your neck when you can't do anything but plead with support staff to go faster? Bad

(Not to imply that DELG has anything to fix.)

I once worked on a criminal case where the appeal was dismissed because the e-filing came in 5 minutes after midnight. #consequences

im just so confused in general. why would your lack of authority to make the call have anything to do with your partner calling to ensure you don't miss the deadline if it's that close?
