\nHow your world can come tumbling down all too rapidly if you make the wrong call.<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nIf, just for one, fatal split second, you behave unlawfully.
\nOr rather, if you are poor and you break the law.<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Courts, like hospitals, are magnets for those dealt a wrong hand from the start of life, who choose the wrong men or the wrong mates and become so mired in bad fortune they loose their moral compass.<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nThe rich aren’t quite as affected.<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nLook at tax avoidance, or fraud, as it might be called perpetrated by someone without the benefit of a skilled accountant.<\/strong><\/em><\/span>
\nBad luck or lack of acumen doesn’t seem to dog the rich quite as assiduously as the poor.”<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

……………………………………………………………………………………………………..<\/p>\n

“I went into the law with high ideals, and I have retained some. I haven’t become overly jaded, but I hadn’t expected the need to win to be so brutally exposed.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

The truth is a tricky issue. Rightly or wrongly, adversarial advocacy is not really an inquiry into the truth.<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nAdvocacy is about being more persuasive than your opponent.<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nYou can win, even if the evidence is stacked against you, provided that you argue better.<\/span><\/strong><\/em>
\nAnd it’s all about winning, of course.”<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
