So the players time to decertify and file in court without it resulting in those 6 mos cutting into the reg season is rapidly approaching.
I dont undertand how a judge can be specially set to a matter for over 15 years thoo. I know in Mont Co Cir Co there is one judge who handles the complex contract/business matters b/c those types of cases req a greater understanding of the principles, law in that particular specialized area vs your avg bench judge.

The way I heard it is each CBA is basically an extension of the previous ones since 1987, so Judge Doty remains on the matter.
