WE NEED DONATIONS TO SUPPORT MR. KURZBAN'S EFFORTS.THIS IS TIME, THIS IS HARD WORK AND ALL THIS FOR US!
Armande: Here are the answers. Ira.
  • What will happen Friday? Is it like the first time?
This is nothing like the first case which was a trial with witnesses. This is simply an argument where each side only get 15 minutes. There are no witnesses and no testimony. It is based solely on the record that was made at that first trial. As you know we have tried to get the Inspector General’s report in front of the court, but the government is fighting with us on that issue. If the court does consider it that will be the only additional information since the trial that they will consider. Quite honestly, the most important part of our work is already done. The sets of briefs that we have filed represent our position. The briefs are far more important than the oral argument. The court rarely decides cases based upon the oral argument. They may have some questions that are troubling them that are unanswered in the briefs, but for the most part, the briefs that have been submitted are the major focus of the appeal.
  • Will the judges make a decision on friday?
It is not likely. Typically the judges take anywhere from 4 to 6 months to decide a case after oral argument. Because of the time pressure involved in this case, it is possible, although highly unlikely, that the court will issue a decision from the bench. It is also likely that, given the time-sensitive nature of this case, that they will issue a decision much quicker than they normally would issue a decision. When they make a decision, the parties are notified by mail and sometimes by the clerk.
  • Will they make a decision before the fiscal year for the lottery is done?
I believe they will do so one way or the other. If they are going to rule in our favor it is much more likely that they will issue a decision quickly.
  • Do you trust the person who will defend our case on Friday?
The law firm conducting the 15 minute oral argument on our behalf --The firm of Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver, and Jacobson—is one of the premier law firms in the United States. I have worked with them on various cases for over 30 years. They have outstanding lawyers and we have been discussed the case with them through one of their most senior lawyers. We will prepare the lawyer who will do the argument and I am certain she will be excellent.
  • Will she represent your ideas in the documents well or does he/she will change things you wrote?
She has read the briefs and is thoroughly familiar with the case. She will be extensively briefed and prepared for the argument before she goes to the court. We have ever confidence that she will do outstanding job.

  4. Thanks Mr. Kurzban. I hope we do win on Friday. Even if we don't I thank you greatly. I have donated and I know donations are probably not near to your actual expenses. But I am sure you have received the heart felt prayers and blessings of many during these past few months. To some people this might not mean much. But I understand that you are a Real Person for whom humanity matters more than just materialistic returns. Thanks again so much.

  6. Dear Attorney Kurzban and Associates,

    Regardless of the outcome, I want to say Thank you for spending your LIFE for AllOfUs; contributions made by a few of the 22,000 could NEVER compensate you for your tenacity, dedication and most of all Love for your fellow man, because it is Love that makes you seek justice for people you do NOT even know or will most likely never meet.

    On behalf of AllOfUs, I say many thanks to you and your colleagues.

  9. Dear Mr. Kurzban,

    I am quite sure that the court will rule very quickly in our favor if not from the bench on Friday itself. That is how much confidence I have in your briefs. Congratulations to you in advance and thank you for your efforts and generosity.

  14. Question:

    If you give a computer a complete right to select 100'000 numbers in your behalf , would you cry after if it select numbers from first days ?

    1. Answer:

      Yes, I would cry on behalf of the selectees who received a notification of winning. Believe me, it makes you feel so bad to learn the lottery is voided when you first got the winning letter.

      I hope you never ever experience this kind of situation in your lifetime.

      Best,
