Novell v. Microsoft WordPerfect Appeal: Oral Argument Probably May 9th - David Boies for Novell ~pj

Can you please go? Anyone? It's going to be David Boies himself speaking for Novell in the Novell v. Microsoft WordPerfect antitrust appeal before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. According to this letter [PDF] filed with the court, the parties suggest to the court that the best day for them would be May 9th. It's not set in stone until the court sets it officially as the date for oral argument, but we should start to plan, I think. This court, if you recall, doesn't provide transcripts ever, and there's no audio either unless they grant your wish to have one, which they don't always, so unless we attend that very day, we are probably going to be left totally in the dark.

If anyone is in the Denver area or is free to get there in May, it's time to start to plan. It's a wonderful opportunity to see Mr. Boies in person doing what he does best. And David Tulchin, for Microsoft, is considered one of the best appellate lawyers in the country. And most of all, the Groklaw family is hoping for news from the courtroom, if there is any way a volunteer can be available.
