You read that right: an Alabama lawyer recently used what many are jokingly calling the “Roll Tide!” excuse to file for a continuance for his client. A request for continuance that included the following:
[...] considering the magnitude of this event and its impact on this State, and the fact such an event only comes infrequently during a person’s lifetime and is an achievement of such a magnitude that all involved in this litigation should want everyone to fully participate in this achievement.
9. ROLL TIDE!! ( although my secretary is for the other great team of this State, she feels that I need to attend this championship game!); and may the Longhorns be defeated.
