“Lawyers have a way of seeing that sets them apart from the rest of us. In some way this special vision makes them invaluable, and in other ways, repulsive. Lawyers are much more focused on rational, logical, and objective criteria to the exclusion of the emotional, subjective, and sometimes irrational reponses to the world. Moreover, lawyers like to show no emotion, and possess a particular disdain for the emotions that are found in others, which has the quality of making them seem inhuman.” WorldWaySometimesShowsSeemsFoundEmotionQualityVisionSeeingSpecialEmotionalParticularFocusedLawyerObjectivesRationalLogicalIrrationalSubjectiveCriteriaExclusionDisdainInhumanInvaluable Author:Thane Rosenbaum
“Global warming ... may be a plaintiff lawyer's dream. And it's interesting, in a perverse way, to imagine how a jury in 2050 might react to some of the recent industry-backed studies minimizing the dangers of global warming. I suspect future jurors will not be amused.” WayMayDreamMightInterestingStudyImagineDangerIndustryLawyerGlobal WarmingSuspectsJuryAmusedMinimizingJurors Author:David Ignatius
