With Facebook in the news (again) over breaches of privacy and Russian interference in our election, I thought it would be a good time to take a look at the portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg and the origins of Facebook in the David Fincher/Aaron Sorkin classic, The Social Network.
Apparently much of the dialogue from the deposition scenes is taken straight out of the deposition transcripts. It definitely shows. From a lawyer’s perspective, the dialogue feels very accurate to real life. Pretty amazing that they were able to take that dry legalese and turn it into a compelling movie.

▶ Why Indochino Suits? (50% off Premium Suits + free shipping) [legaleagle.link/indochino]: Off-the-rack suits NEVER fit right. Indochino makes fully custom suits that fit perfectly using any material I want, with all of the options I want. And they cost 1/3rd of what normal suits costs. I’ve purchased them with my own money for years, so I’m thrilled they are now a sponsor.
▶ Why Ties from TheTieBar? (Free shipping on orders over $50) [fave.co/2ImLY9I]: Normal ties are too fat. Skinny ties are too skinny. So these days I only wear ties that are exactly 2.5” wide. They are fashionable without being hipster. You see them in all of my videos. TieBar ties are perfect, come in every color I want, and never cost more than $19.
▶ Why these Tie Clips? [amzn.to/2WIQ6EE]: It’s really hard to find affordable tie clips that are the right size (1.5”), look good, and are great quality. These tie bars are all three. Plus the 3-pack gives a variety of styles. They pair perfectly with 2.5” ties from TheTieBar (above).
▶ Why these Pocket Squares? [amzn.to/2UfsKtL]: I like my pocket squares perfectly, well, square. Like straight-out-of-Mad-Men square. The only way to do that is with a stiffer material that keeps its shape. I’ve exhaustively tried dozens of pocket squares, and these are by far the best. It’s how I get the perfectly flat pocket square you see in my videos.

I get asked a lot about whether being a practicing attorney is like being a lawyer on TV. I love watching legal movies and courtroom dramas. It's one of the reasons I decided to become a lawyer. But sometimes they make me want to pull my hair out because they are ridiculous.
Today I'm taking a break from representing clients and teaching law students how to kick ass in law school to take on lawyers in the movies and on TV. While all legal movies and shows take dramatic license to make things more interesting (nobody wants to see hundreds of hours of brief writing), many of them have a grain of truth.

The Courier New font family could be used because that is one of the only fixed-width fonts. This means that every character is just as wide as the others. Take these lines from example: "iiiiiiiiii" "WWWWWWWWWW" These lines appear different lengths although they are both ten characters long. This property of a font family can make it quite easy to make tables / charts with solely text.

FINALLY I HAVE SOME KNOWLEDGE TO OFFER THIS CHANNEL!!! Courier is used in screenplays (and probably courts) because the letters are all equidistant from one another, contrary to most other fonts which have a varied width depending on the letter (consider "l" versus "m"). Because of that, it's very easy to estimate the length of a transcript by evaluating how many pages there are. One page of screenplay is about one minute of screen time. I suspect it's something similar here. You can very easily estimate the number of characters per page of transcript because the font is uniform. Unfortunately, this also makes it slightly harder to read, as you pointed out, because there are bizarre gaps between letters that don't usually exist.

@wjhull 5 жыл бұрын

Just some quick support: I used to work in publishing, and courier was often used in transcripts because (A) it's serif, which means there are no 'I/l' errors in reading, and each character has a fixed width (IE if you have a row of Is and a row of Ms, they will fill with the same number of characters), which means that the length of the transcript can be more accurately gauged by the page count. Courier was based off of typewriters, which shunted the roller forward with every key press and so each letter had to take up the same amount of space, which is why it's unique--most fonts you see have variable width, so narrow letters will look more 'smashed-together' and can mess with your page-based word count.The fixed width also makes it much more 'neat' if you're manually justifying, which is handy for formatting screenplays or drawing little pictures or patterns with the letters (like Jack Torrance's manuscript in Kubrick's The Shining). For stenographers, I imagine page count isn't that important, but I imagine from the clip that formatting is important, and at-glance readability is far more important than aesthetics.

i guess, for a stenographer using the font that allows for more accurate page length is important for the same exact reason it's important in screenwriting - there they actually use page length to count out the approx. screentime (and by approx. i mean down to some 5 minutes, so YEAH). You can imagine, time is a big deal in movie making. It may as well be so in court procedures? upd: It's actually down to a minute (or at least it is in screenwriting, not sure about court transcripts).

Not an objection, just a note for the record. The description you've given about court reporters is accurate. Although in the movie, from the way they were stroking the keys, I could tell they were not real court reporters. And I've never seen a court reporter put their steno machine on top of a table. It's usually on a tripod about waist level to the reporter. Typing with arms and hands up that high, as depicted in the movie, would cause great muscle strain to the arms and back. I'm guessing the reason the steno machines were on the table must have been so it would be visible on camera.

The reason that courier is often used is because it is a public domain font due to it never being trademarked by its creator, IBM. It is monospaced and installed on virtually every operating system, so when GUI's were not as common on computers it was important to have usable font. This made it very useful in the past, but today it is still used because nobody can seem to be bothered to change to a more modern font.

@rtg5881 5 жыл бұрын

I dont think you can trademark fonts. I mean you can, youcan trademark anything, but it being enforcable is another question. The only placewhere such a thing would be enforcable is if the font is used in someones company logo and even then only if that logo can be confused for the trademark holders logo. Trademarks exist to do one thing and one thing only, prevent customers from confusing two products. And if i trademark a name for a handcreme you can still use that name for anything unrelated to beauty products.

@@rtg5881 There are three main ways to protect a typeface: 1. Trademark; 2. Copyright; 3. Patent; In the U.S., typefaces (the design of the letters) don't receive copyright protection, although they do in most other countries. However, in the US, fonts can be copyrighted as computer files or programs that tell your computer how to display or print the typeface. IBM invented the Courier typeface and protected it with a design patent and a invention patent (for the means of producing it.) Howerever, *they neglected to trademark the name of the typeface* and so once the design patent expired other people could sell Courier typefaces and call what they were selling "Courier" typefaces. This means that a regulation or policy can specify "Courier" typeface and not be locked into a particular vendor for that typeface -- since "Courier" is not a trademarked name and it has passed into general usage like the term "Escalator". ----------------------------- You're right that under current law copyright attaches upon creation. But if you don't register your copyright within three month of creating the work of art then (under US federal law) people are (legally) free to use your work without having to pay you damages. The best you can do is register the copyright and then get an injunction against future use and sue for damages (and attorney fees) that accrue after the date you registered the copyright.

Learning a stenographer's keyboard is like relearning how to speak with one of those Steven Hawking voice boxes.

Courier may be used in legal documents, as well as screenplays and such, in part just because it was very common in olden times (a few decades ago) but also because it's what's called a "monospaced" font, meaning that each character uses the exact same horizontal space as any other. I'm not entirely sure why this would be useful for legal documents, except perhaps for creating makeshift tables using the space key to separate items in such a way that they align properly. Really, the fact that characters align from one line to the next is the only useful feature that I can think of.

Also, stenography machines (I believe it's called a stenotype) aren't built like a standard keyboard: a typical machine has fewer letters and is shaped more like piano keys.

Yeah, after I posted my comment, I came across some video of a stenographer with a decent view of the keyboard, and I see now that it's what's called a "chording keyboard", where multiple keys need to be pressed simultaneously to generate each piece of text. Perhaps there are chords available that allow them to individually generate letters A-Z when they have to, for parts of testimony that're spelling-critical.

The real question should be why aren't stenokeyboards more widespread? Imagine the content of youtube if everyone used a stenotype?

I just came across this channel, it's very good it reminds of the doctors who check to see if movies are medically accurate. I'll be looking forward to your content.

It’s called a stenographer machine. We don’t call it typing, we are “writing”. We use different combinations of keys to record syllables and also “briefs” which are abbreviations for standard phrases.

Objection, Zucc wasn't refusing to answer that he answered "yes" to a prior question, he was mocking the use of the phrase "the affirmative" to mean "yes." "Do you remember answering in the affirmative?" (i.e Do you remember answering yes?) "The affirmative" (i.e. yes)

He wasn't refusing to answer, nor was he actually saying "yes". He was mocking the attorney for his choice of words.
