Yep, pretty standard question...
Q Have you ever been involved in any other lawsuits as either a plaintiff or defendant?
A Yes.
Then there will be a long list, and a summary of what each one involved, the venue, who the attorneys were, what the outcome was, etc.

Hopefully, someone will get a chance to tip defense counsel off that he or she should focus on this very question in the defense's interrogatories, before even getting to deposition. The fact is that Orly has absolutely no credibility as a witness. Let her attorney put her on the stand to testify in front of a jury, which is being asked to award her hundreds of thousands of someone else's dollars. She has already been sanctioned by a court for filing frivolous lawsuits. Now she wants to file another one, except, we are to believe that it isn't frivolous? The defense needs to know about this when evaluating her case.
In all fairness to the Taitz's, this case should be judged on the merits, not upon her litigious history. If the workmanship sucked, and there was damage, that is the primary relevant issue. Think about it, lawyers - some of you may have been plaintiffs in a similar situation, suing another "profession" you hired because of malpractice. Your legal history, which is your chosen profession, should not be relevant to the quality of work by the professionals you hired.
But....it is defense counsel's duty to drag into view the trunk full of frivolous lawsuits this infamous plaintiff has initiated......frivolous lawsuits filed not as a professional attorney representing clients, but as a personal political crusade....tilting at windmills,
pro bono....
Most of society agrees with Adam Smith's definition and would call her "irrational" for devoting so much effort for no reward., Defense counsel for this particular case could dig into that a bit and find the treasure s/he seeks. "Irrational" is an apt description.
Sure hope the person presiding over the hearing isn't one of the millions of California Obots........
