Originality Befitting an Ivy League President
Posted on January 22, 2024
CLW is not alone in noticing an awful lot of familiar verbiage popping up in climate lawsuits filed in different jurisdictions with different laws, different plaintiffs, and even different lawyers.
There was the amusing episode in which artifact language from Minnesota’s June 24, 2020 turned up in the District of Columbia’s lawsuit filed the next day, even though DC AG Karl Racine denied he even knew about his colleagues’ suit.
Different clients if the same allegations—but, of course, clumsily repeating allegations made in the Minnesota complaint in the DC complaint about a party not named as a defendant by DC. But at least the same outside law firm did this, if to claim a purely local offense.
