Litigation is just stuff people do

John Steinbeck is an American literary icon, and the recipient of the National Book Award, the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and the Nobel Prize in Literature. But only in 2019 was he accorded the high honor of emulation in a decision by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — certified for publication, of course. For those who don’t have the time to read the opinion cover to cover, the “Cliff’s Notes” version follows.
