Erie doctrine ez. At a certain point it just becomes pothead philosophizing where there really isn't a wrong answer depending on which camp you fall in. (i.e. Ginsburg v. Scalia)

IP litigator here. It's not so much that 101 is conceptually difficult, it's more that it's malleable, made-up bullshit. The outcome of a MTD or MSJ under 101 is 100% dependent on the judge.

One thing I loved about the E.D. Tex. --> Fed. Cir. pipeline was the willingness of every judge along the way to completely flout SCOTUS precedent on shit like PSM. (And obviousness, but Teleflex was a little before my time, such that I didn't get to observe that instance of the lower courts briefly lurching to the anti-patentee direction only to quickly return to their previous equilibrium.)

Always found it incredibly inelegant, but effective, to have the second part of every limitation section (II.A.2, II.B.2, II.C.2, etc.) in a Markman brief be "ayo and if you didn't buy that shit as a *literal* matter, don't forget about the DOE!"

Some good candidates in tax: maybe unified loss rule or 382 segregation/public group rule?

But honestly nothing in law is that difficult to understand.

I think right now the hot button issue is data privacy. Seems to me it should be incredibly easy but every expert seems to think a simple 15 page contract needs a 60 page addendum just to deal with data shit.

Part of that is timing. During the late 90s, the PTO was granting patents for basically anything related to a computer, and your only recourse as a defendant was an ex parte reexam or to try to convince a jury that it's invalid by clear and convincing evidence. Good luck with that, lol.

If Amazon had asserted that patent post-AIA, it would've gotten challenged in a CBM, and the PTAB would've nuked it under 101.

Proof beyond RD + presumption of innocence.

Not hard concepts intellectually but depend on context of relationship to govt that hasn’t existed for 80+ years.

If we're going to go down that route, I still don't know what it means to introduce the defendant's confession as "impeachment" when he contradicts it at trial, and then tell the jury to "consider it only for its impeachment value." As in, even if I was a pristinely good-faith and autistic-savant juror going out of my way to segregate licit and illicit information and inferential chains in my mind, I don't know how that'd work here.

I used to always take the intellectually lazy position that it theoretically means that the worst the jury can value the testimony is as if no testimony had been given at all, but that's clearly not true -- plenty of (probably most) defendant testimony is actively harmful, and even if the "Big Liar, Under Oath, About Serious & Material Shit --> Probably Enough of a Shitbag in General to Have Committed Crime X" inference is forbidden, I'm pretty sure the expressly allowed "Big Liar..." finding does some serious and substantive damage.

My last 2 trials involved clients with face and neck tattoos. Sex trafficker late last year looked like he had vitiligo he had so many patches of slightly mismatched "Mocha Buff" liquid makeup on him. (How is it I tell my paralegal to buy 5 different colors just in case, and she brings back 5 bottles of shit that's *each* too light? Did she not understand the point of the exercise?)

Waterfall provisions in RMBS documents can be extremely difficult to parse. Structured finance is highly technical and many deals were done so quickly in the run up to 2008 that the documents don’t make sense if you actually read them. (Associates just copied and pasted inconsistent templates.) It gets complicated when you try to account for deferred principal, litigation settlements, payments by certificate insurers, etc.

Securities fraud damages can be pretty technical too. (Event studies, etc.)

I assume patent, antitrust, and environmental can be difficult too.

if it's a hyper technical document being done by sleep deprived 28 yos at 4 am, using incorrect templates, then it's not exactly challenging to "figure out" -- the document is just essentially ambiguous or wrong in a way that does not reflect the intent of the parties. right?

Yes. But none of the shitbag corporate lawyers will publicly cop to that because they earned millions in fees for doing these deals. So instead the court has to try to interpret the docs as written. Which is not possible, so it’s a question of which inconsistent meaning you adopt for part 1 and how to fix other issues caused for issues 2, 4, and 7 by how you fixed part 1.

agreed. Usually what happens is a reckoning comes (eg 2008); courts say "this is gibberish" and the drafters tighten it up for a while. But right now feels pretty loose

The answer is the rule against perpetuities. This thread is full of answers saying it’s not that hard which is 100% true but there’s no other answer. Law isn’t conceptually difficult. You can’t say “partnership tax” or ERISA because those are entire courses, not rules. The only other possible answer is some con law shit like substantive due process or something which is at least a concept but is only difficult because its all total fucking nonsense so have to know how it’s applied incoherently in every case.
