@TamarYaelBatYah I usually don't argue civil appellate procedure with lunatics unless I am being paid, but I am feeling generous and benevolent today, so let's review the Table of Authorites in
Scott v. Moon, et al.
View attachment 1105187
For those unfamiliar with a Table of Authorities in a legal brief, it is a sort of index of every authority--cases, statutes, books--cited in the brief. As an index, it lists both the authority
and the page number where it appears in the brief. The Table of Authorities in
Scott v. Moon does not list the page numbers.
Second, a proper Table of Authorities groups the types of authorities cited under identifying headings. So statutes are grouped together under the heading "Statutes" and cases are grouped together under the heading "Cases". The Table of Authorities in
Scott v. Moon does not have these headings.
Third, legal citations have particular formats.
Every single citation in the Table of Authorities in
Scott v. Moon has a citation error:
47 USC 230 should be: 47 U.S.C. § 230 (
date)
Nemet Chevrolet, Ltd. V Consumeraffairs.com, Inc., 591 F. 3d 250 should be:
Nemet Chevrolet, Ltd. v. Consumeraffairs.com, Inc., 591 F.3d 250 (
Circuit year).
Zeran v American Online, Inc 129 F.3d 329 (1997) should be:
Zeran v. America Online,
Inc., 129 F.3d 329 (4th Cir. 1997).
Now, for normal people and Mountain Jews, the citation errors don't seem important. But the federal judicial clerks who are the first line of review are law review spergs who have spent hours and hours learning the Bluebook citation rules. And the federal judiciary is made up of former judicial clerks. So anything with fucked up citations--especially inconsistent fucked up citations--immediately gets sorted into the "Lol what a moron" category.
(Edited to fix a citation error. It's been a while since I was a law review sperg.)
