Producing Documents in a Rush

All lawyers work under tight deadlines, but we were quite surprised by what one of our adversaries did recently. In a case that did not in any way involve rock music, we received a document production during discovery that included hundreds of pages of irrelevant documents, including a printout of all of the lyrics by the progressive rock band Rush. Yes, that’s over twenty years of lyrics. The kicker? All of the lyrics were stamped “Confidential.” We know that not everyone is as big a fan of the band as our own
Alan Promer, but did the lyrics really need to be kept under seal?
