Bluster, sputter, question, cavil; but be sure your argument be intricate enough to confound the court.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We're lawyers. We present the arguments, and the court sorts out the merits.
The Courtroom is a battlefield, and oral argument requires a fair amount of verbal jousting and sparring with the Justices.
We are not a court - not a judge or jury at work - but we've tried to apply the highest possible standards of rigorous analysis to the evidence where we make a criticism.
What makes for a good argument, at bottom, is being more prepared than anyone else in that courtroom, and being willing to fight to tell your client's story - the story of why the right view of the law and my client's interests are one and the same.
My court skills may have atrophied.
One cannot tell the High Court what to adjudicate. They must judge, and then the legislature must act accordingly.
Sometimes we get very frustrated here on court. It is tough to control. It is a mistake.
Please keep an open mind and let me have my day in court.
The dumber you are on court, the better you're going to play.
When you have no basis for an argument, abuse the plaintiff.
