+79

continuing from the preceding post
One could easily think the purpose of case title is to provide easier path to remembering and referring to the case and for that it needs to be short not full caption. Otherwise the case number on the same cover uniquely identifies the case. It is not like when you first file to the supreme court and you got no number for your case until after filing your petition.
On the other hand, the motion form I received asks me about "Opposing counsel's position on motion". This can be easily understood that motion filer should file his motion with his opponent before the court. That was supposed to carry local rule 27.1 requirement on the filer about the position of his opponent on the "relief" sought.
