ABSTRACT
Loyola of Los Angeles L Rev 493. Whilst practising as a lawyer for the Los Angeles firm of Munger, Tolles and Rickershauser, Green was instructed on a large scale commercial dispute involving the alleged infringement of certain patents relating to computerised charge-authorisation and creditverification devices. Legal proceedings had been commenced and prehearing discovery was well underway. Green estimated that both parties had spent several hundred thousand dollars during the two and a half years of preparation for the hearing, for which a date had not been set at the time of the parties investigating an alternative method of resolving the dispute, without recourse to litigation.
