I encountered the same horror show when I attempted to prepare for a prolonged jury trial in a multiparty class action or mass tort, when I sat on the bench. Too much information can make the most complex cases a waking nightmare that defies even the most erudite brains and makes one want to pull one’s hair out a strand at a time.
