I have here in my hand FN:1 a request for a continuance. It’s not addressed to me or even my court. It’s addressed to a court in Texas. I have it only because the syndication of my column is helping me develop a national cadre of people who have correctly intuited that I need all the help I can get. FN:2 Three of them sent me this motion.
I have a particular interest in continuances. I’ve gone all over the world urging lawyers to devote less time to their practice and more time to their family. My remarks on this topic have been cited to me more than once in continuance requests. It’s difficult — though, I should warn you, not impossible — to turn down a continuance when you are the primary authority cited in support of the request.
