3 characters are important:
- Mata (plaintiff)
- Schwartz (attorney)
- LoDuca (attorney on record).
Mata sues Avianca airlines through Schwartz at NY state court.
Avianca transfers the case to Manhattan’s federal court.
That's when things get interesting🕵️♂️

Schwartz can’t practice there, so he gets LoDuca to be the attorney on record.
Remember, LoDuca does zero research. Everything is done by Schwartz.
Mata's lawyers file the brief.
Avianca asks the judge to throw the case out. Why? Because none of the cited cases exist! 🤯

1. The elephant in the room for #designethics is if you design things for a corporation you inherit their ethics, or lack their-of, whether you notice it or not.
2. Corporations have a primary obligation for their own profit - and it is well known that ethical considerations are, shall we say, "hard to monetize."
3. Evidence: seat belts in cars arrived through the threat of legislation, despite the patents for it being free (thx Volvo!). The tobacco industry had to be dragged kicking and screaming to admit to their own research about addiction.
