I saw you were an attorney before you posted on this. I was just waiting for it, lol.
Well, I may only be a law student, but I wasn't born yesterday. I've seen how things work from the attorney's point of view, and if I've learned anything, it's that the reason you can make a living as an attorney is that the law is open to interpretation (as well as ripe for finding procedural errors made by the opposing counsel) and there are always opposing points of view. It seems it ends up being a question of a logical argument many times when the law is vague.
But I'm sure you know all of that and, if you're a successful attorney, are plenty good at interpreting the law and carefully choosing to argue based on specific circumstances.
So am I to assume (in the absence of any agreement from you with my view) that you also believe the law is crystal clear leaving no need to discuss it, let alone challenge it when someone comes in with some very matter-of-fact interpretations that seem to defy logic? (serious question)
Damn, I step away for 1 hour to go meet up with Zerobug at Dairy Queen and he flames himself out... If you can still see this, you have a lot to learn about how the world works- don't let your ivory tower professors fool you. All of that may work well for anticipating crazy exam questions that may get asked, but it's truly not very real world. If you act this way in court, your career will be spent in the parking lot of the Court explaining to your client why the judge just poured you out and why he loses. Best of luck. Word to the wise- get paid before you go into court with that attitude.
