How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• criticizing the position, abandoned by plaintiffs themselves, that the selection of an arbitrator could be actionable malpractice
• plaintiffs failed to show that there should have been a different result in arbitration if the attorneys adopted the litigation strategies urged by them
• “An attorney cannot be held liable for malpractice for reasonable discretion exercised during the course of a litigation.”
• “In short, plaintiffs’ hindsight determination that defendants were-not ‘rigorous’ enough or quick enough in advancing the disputed position is precisely the sort of ‘second-guessing of counsel’s strategic judgment ... [that] do[es] not rise to the level of legal malpractice.’”
