And unless you think there is a serious chance you're going to jail, don't listen to your lawyer.

Lawyers are for only what is right.

I'm not sure I can say there is a clean line between me as an individual and me as a lawyer.

It is not what a lawyer tells me I may do; but what humanity, reason, and justice tell me I ought to do.

The trouble with law is lawyers.

There's no question there's enough information available to all of us in this society for darn near anything. The problem is the quality of the information, the presentation of it... You shouldn't have to be a lawyer.

Well, I don't know as I want a lawyer to tell me what I cannot do. I hire him to tell how to do what I want to do.

You do what you want and know is right. That is the only law.

I hate second-guessing other lawyers because I know that I've tried and lost cases, and somebody could sit there and say, 'Should have done it this way,' and they'd have been right.

I'll have you understand I am running this court, and the law hasn't got a damn thing to do with it!
