Too bad the city officials pushing this couldn't be on the tab for it.

That's the next step. Make the politicians personally bear the cost of illegal legislation a la Florida.
I know I go off on my crusades, but heck, it took over three decades for anyone to take me serious about moving suppressors to Title I. It may take a little time for the General Assembly to amend the preemption statute to make the politicians responsible.

He'd probably be better off selling it ... there will be no money left when he gets it - the rate this is going. LOL.

I did not know you could appeal before a trial

The amount of legal wrangling that can go on before, during and after a trial is ridiculous. That's why we have inmates being put to death after 10 or 15 years on death row. After having their whole case argument blown up twice now hopefully the city gets a clue and chooses to settle and cut their losses.
Yes, that kind of thing is called an "interlocutory" appeal, unless the court dismisses it, which is a "final" order. If it is a final order, then it is just a regular appeal of that order.
This is the second time it has gone up on an interlocutory appeal. That's pretty rare, in my experience.

That reminds me. I have to finish a motion for the COA to take jurisdiction. Oh the joys of App. R. 14.
Filed a relatively important Appellant's Brief yesterday electronically. (Aren't they ALL relatively important?) The new efiling formatting rules were strange from my old-school perspective. (Why can't the TOC pages have romanette numbering?) And I love efiling generally.
In other litigation, our firm resisted an opponent's motion to certify in the trial court and won at that level. That was a good day.
You two are killing me, and I went to law school with the explicit plan of becoming an appellate lawyer. When I won the first moot court trial competition I tried, I realized I much prefer arguing in person on the fly. We don't need no stinkeen TOC!
I have many published appeals to my name (over about 19 years) and have not argued an appellate case live since moot court. Regularly in the trial courts, but never had an oral argument in the COA or Sup. Ct.
What I like about appeals: that the record is "frozen" and it comes down to ability to argue the application of the law to the established (mostly) facts.
What I like about trials: the drama that comes from being absolutely absorbed and focused on one set of things on a dynamic "field."
What I like about transactions: everything.
What I like about PCRs: nothing.
Back in the day, I know I had more ISC oral arguments than COA (capital cases only get ISC review, even on PCR appeal). I think I even had more 7th Circuit habeas oral arguments than Indiana COA arguments.
