Neat Lawyer Trick I Just Learned....

[Matt "Gumby" Glach]

If you plan to try this trick, please get ready to raked over the coals by opposing counsel about your knowledge of the law and why the first statement out of your mouth after a dangerous accident (and presumably one in which at least one of the parties was seriously injured, since a lawsuit resulted) was "admit it's your fault!" or something of the kind. That line of questioning will either lead you to perjure yourself or to reveal that you are a cynical lawsuit-junky...which judges and juries always smile upon, of course. Also, if you are a law student posting such litigious advice on a public forum under your own name and image, have fun when it comes time to apply to your state bar for a moral character determination.

I will have deleted all of my internet aliases by then. And for the record, the example I used was taken directly from my Emannuals Evidence Book.
