The court opinion is surprisingly readable. I don't know why, but I was expecting a lot more opaque lawyerly jargon.

TLDR : The process used to decided the comp package was flawed (mainly because of the conflict of interest from the people negotiating on behalf of tesla) and the comp package itself can't be justified by objective metrics

She's a good writer, and always has been. Most of her opinions are written in clear, plain, understandable way because as the chief judge she sees it as her job to try to set the standard for how the court should behave

Yeah, she’s an excellent communicator. Many of her opinions are also pretty funny too (relatively speaking, of course).

I find they usually are including SCOTUS decisions. I would encourage everyone to read at least some of them.

It's a shame starting law programs requires an undergrad degree in most of the country. Otherwise more people may be encouraged to get involved particularly later in life.

As a European person, this is the kind of pleasant surprises I expect to hear from America

Thank you for this. I instinctively avoided the link due to same expectations of illegible jargon. After I read your comment, I read the court opinion and found it almost too informal!

Which in itself makes the entire ruling a farce by this judge.

A court opinion should not be the same as a opinion news article posted on CNBC.
