Drafting orders: Best practices

We use lots of court approved “form” orders in the Central District of California. But here is a wide variance of opinion among the judges and the attorneys about the proper form of custom orders. As a side note, many folks still stick “findings of fact and conclusions of law” into orders. That’s a bad habit. If you need some help, I could put together a program with three judges. Maybe the Hon. Dan Collins, a judge from the Central District of California (maybe Hon. S. Bluebond, Hon. S. Klein, or the Hon. V. Zurzolo), and a judge to be named later. Judge Zurzolo is not often on panels, but he has strong opinions about procedure. I have done panels will all of the named judges. Blocking and tackling, but well suited to the winter leadership format.
