PCR Exhibits - Alaska State of Corruption

HAEG: Ok.
OSTERMAN: I – I will win them over. Believe me we have attended – in fact I can tell
you two years ago State Bar convention the entire panel of the Court of Appeals got up in bank
and said “the biggest sin committed in briefs is you guys bore us. We’re tired of being bored”.
HAEG: Ok.
OSTERMAN: “These are lively cases about real people. Write these cases”.
HAEG: Ok.
OSTERMAN: Ok. So I sat through their seminars. I’ve still got their materials. We
purchased books and material to understand better how to write briefs. In fact while Joel was
writing I found an editorial page in one of the legal magazines and snipped it out and gave it to
him about how to liven things up and short circuit things a little bit.
HAEG: Ok.
MEETING
Attorney Mark Osterman & David Haeg 5/6/06
OSTERMAN: Ok. Did you get a chance to look it over
HAEG: Yep.
OSTERMAN: You got any substantive changes we got to get them made. We’ve got
about 2 weeks left. Actually a lot less then that now. So what didn’t you like
HAEG: Um I don’t know – I looked at it and I would of – like I said when I
came in here I wanted to – to go after Brent and Chuck because of the
stuff that they did lying and - and stuff and there’s very little of that in
there and I don’t know why that is.
OSTERMAN: Because we’re appealing the merits. Not your
unh[appyness] – your dissatisfaction with your other lawyers.
HAEG: Ok well why do you have - um I know at the first meeting we had you’d said
that Brent Cole’s ineffectiveness was the biggest thing that we had.
