Most cases that's right. But the right lawyer and the right jury with emotion can win a bad case. I don't know how often that happens.I don’t think emotions can put legs under a really bad case. But I think emotions are most of the game in deciding close cases.
@unclemark ken nunn isn't a lawyer. he's a business man. a smart one. those guys ruined the profession in innumerable ways but you can't discount their business acumen
and others far exceeded that model by essentially franchising practices
@larsiu johnnie cochran after his oj fame opened offices all over. he'd staff them with a local. so he did it in saint louis. i randomly had a case back then and johnnie's "associate" was on the other side. the judge was from one of three families that run the town. he was from THE family that ran the legal community.
kid goes i'm xyz with the cochran law firm. i was in a horrible mood and i bust out laughing. I go WELL WHERE'S JOHNNIE?!!!!!!!!!!! then i made this theatric scan around the court room. WHY DOESN'T JOHNIE show up for any of these settings???? i just went off. shredded this associate. judge destroyed the kid. home courted the fuck out of it. and i had played soccer with his brother since i was a little kid.
but advertising really did change all that. the names of the big advertisers just flooded the market. impossible to home team when a third of your docket is these firms.
and this shit

That is one thing that would make me a bad lawyer. I couldn't defend anyone if I was convinced they were guilty of murder.But I’m not sure I could live with myself if I got that Cantrell guy off for that murder.
There are 10 types of people in this world, those who know binary and those who don't.
@npt npt you believe in something bigger than an individual person. the system. in many ways that's REAL law.
I despise them.@larsiu johnnie cochran after his oj fame opened offices all over. he'd staff them with a local. so he did it in saint louis. i randomly had a case back then and johnnie's "associate" was on the other side. the judge was from one of three families that run the town. he was from THE family that ran the legal community.

@bradstevens i do too. and their radio ads literally make the hair on my neck stand up. i hate that model. that mountain of cases to flip with an ortho in cahoots writing causal letters and not filing 99 percent of the cases. it bastardized everything. and believe me i know it so well. it made the profession an occupation. a job.
i don't know. i really really hate law. and i love it. i'd love to have had a treasure chest to pick and choose a dozen cases at a time and no more and just work the living shit out of them. good cases. big cases. but....
You'd rather they walk?That is one thing that would make me a bad lawyer. I couldn't defend anyone if I was convinced they were guilty of murder.But I’m not sure I could live with myself if I got that Cantrell guy off for that murder.
I'd do it if the alternative is execution.
You really aren’t defending a guilty person. You are maintaining the very high standards government must adhere to. Any relaxation, or leniency, starts us down a banana republic road.

I became in-house GC about the time plaintiff’s PI went south. I had to give up good and loyal ongoing business clients, but I loved GC work. I did it all. A typical day might have included being issuer’s counsel for a bond issue, working on a construction issue, defending excessive force, litigating jail conditions, doing a condemnation, working on an ad valorum tax value, telling the Commissioners they didn’t have the authority to do what they wanted to do, and more. I loved all of it and the commissioners loved me. Nowadays, the office farms out all the hard or controversial stuff and people don’t like the job as much.
