Letters sent to me; can I post?

undefinedWhat is the name of your state? KY

I have a friend who is working on a website, and it surrounds a lawsuit and getting the word out to the Public. he has posted the filed court documents on the site as they are public record. He has posted letters that he has written to opposing Counsel.

Can he post the letters that she sent him as well? They are just regular correspondence and presumably not copyrighted. Since they were sent to him, do they become his to do as he pleases-like letting other people read them? Thanks in advance

Forget about the legal issue. Why would you do something that would potentially annoy or anger the opposing counsel? Bad idea.

Do you really want to know?

At this point, I am not too concerned with annoying the lawyer. I am Pro-Se and she is already angry because she hasn't been able to railroad me to summary judgment yet. From the moment she took over the case from polite attorney at the firm, she has been rude and obnoxious, not to mention, a general cry baby. But most importantly, she has not abided by any of the Rules of Procedure in my State Federal Court, and the very Corporate friendly Judge has sided with her, blatantly, I might add.

I sued one Corporation, and she has substituted, on her own, another business in its place, a Limited Partnership and separate entity, She did not enter any agreed order or motion for substitution. She just took the case with the new party and filed for a removal. We have battled over the issue now for 4 months and she and the Fed. Judge have tried to talk me into allowing the change to the party that she has been filing all her pleading for versus the one that I sued. The Judge told me it would be in my best interest to sign it, and I refused as the party she is fighting for is not the party that commited the error. Thus a non-defendant and not a potential third party removed the case. Because I have fought within the literal reading of the rules, she was angered. So at this point, I am already expecting the summary judgment motion to come, to be granted, and am ready to appeal. However, the issue is one that is important to consumers and their mistreatment by mega corporations, who this one, by the way helps put alot of federal judges in their seats. So my concern is for the greater good of the common man, and not one lawyers ego.
Now, do you have an answer to my question or was that advice all you had to offer me? I don't mean to sound smarta**ed, but I posted to get an answer to my question about the legality of my issue, not an opinion of what would be the best get along tactic. If you know the answer, it would be appreciated. Thanks

You need an attorney.

Don't post any of the filings about the case on the internet until after it is over. If this is in Fed Court, provide the case number and a link and let people obtain the information if they so chose.

We cannot lead you by the hand.
