Trials for lawyers are like bills. It seems that you finish paying one, and feel that feeling of relief, then it’s time to pay it again.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t ever really matter what the truth is. Only what they think it is.

Sometimes you had a better shot with a jury, that body of ones “peers” who make decisions with their emotional brains; especially if your client was guilty.

Your Honor, if giving the finger is a motive for murder, then most everyone in this courtroom would be on trial

During a trial, boy, you think, eat, sleep and crap only the trial.

The law is logical and is based on common sense. The trick was to argue the law in favor of your particular point of view without sounding biased. It was kind of like a magic trick: the best illusionist being the one who can best manipulate the logic to his or her advantage, all the while giving the illusion of impartiality.
