“At one point, [Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Alex] Kozinski offered to loan [attorney Eileen] GilBride his copy of a brief in the case, since she hadn’t brought it to court. When she conceded not being aware of something in the brief, Kozinski closed in: Coming to court without the briefs is ‘poor’ form, he said, ‘but not knowing what’s in the briefs is really worse.'”
