can someone explain a bit the reasonning behind banning opposing lawyers from the defendant's venue?
I feel like it's to reduce "on the ground" discoveries in civil cases, but I don't understand why, as far as I know those are neither forbidden nor unethical, there is a later opportunity to debate whether those discoveries gets introduced as evidence in the case.

- nraynaud 4y agoI was trying to be generous and open in my question.
- himinlomax 4y agoIt's similar in purpose to sending your goons to break one of the lawyers' knees, and barely more ethical.
- azernik 4y agoThere isn't any information they could discover. The lawsuit is not against MSG the venue, but against a restaurant somewhere else that happens to be owned by the same umbrella corporation. There is zero motive here other than retaliation.
