Ongoing CBA discussions

[over the mountain]

From what I heard and understand, the extension allows both parties more time to come to an agreement, once the CBA is expired the players can decertify and take it to fed. court in Minn where a judge whom has ruled in the players favor the last 15 years or so will again get to be the judge. Once in the courts, an expert figured it would take approx 6 months for a ruling. 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.
