I'm not feeling too good myself (oh no).
AoN, if you are a group of young lawyers traveling on public transportation, do not discuss clever ways to avoid producing discoverable documents.
Or at least don't mention your client's name. Especially if the client is a scumbag insurance company trying to screw a small company on a coverage case. And don't mention the last name of opposing counsel. Especially if it is an unusual last name, easily found by a quick google search for "[Name] and lawyer and coverage." Unless you
want the annoyed lawyer who overhears you to drop an email to the unusually-named lawyer.
(Have I posted warnings about lawyers blabbing in public before? I think so. And yet it keeps happening.)
eta: No, I didn't really blow the whistle. But I might have if I caught their opposing counsel's name -- I was just really angry at what they were talking about, although (to be fair) the conversation was about trying to come up with legitimate objections, and about how they could try to minimize the negative aspects of the "coding memo" once the other side saw it. And they were half a car away from me, so it wasn't like I was eavesdropping on a whispered conversation, or could make a discreet "uh, aren't you concerned about waiving your privilege?" comment.
