After more than three decades in the legal trenches, Mike Bassett has come to appreciate two things: good conversations and good coffee. Legal Grounds is an ongoing series of interviews with the people who shape our world – legal or otherwise. Funny, irreverent and always thoughtful, these short discussions fall somewhere between «Night Court» and Hopper`s «Nighthawks At The Diner.» With that in mind, we promise your coffee will still be hot when the podcast is ready. (Legal Grounds was written, recorded and produced by Dust Devil Press) Grounds are more than just reasons for a court to order a remedy. It is the grounds provided for by law that serve as the basis for the application for discharge. For example, a woman may sue her neighbour for trespassing on the grounds that her fence was erected across her border. Her real reason for the lawsuit could be that she doesn`t like the loud music he plays on her stereo and wants to get him in trouble. However, if its fence does infringe its property, it has grounds of action based on trespassing. This guy is a friend, mentor, leader, and great guy as long as I live in North Texas.
