But What is the Other Half of the Practice?
I must agree with Abstract Appeal, who presents the following "insightful" quotation from De Vaux v. Westwood Baptist Church, Florida Court of Appeals, First District:
The filing of an appeal should never be a conditioned reflex. 'About half the practice of a decent lawyer consists in telling would-be clients that they are damned fools and should stop.'" Hill v. Norfolk & Western Ry. Co., 814 F.2d 1192, 1202 (7th Cir. 1987)(quoting 1 Jessup, Elihu Root 133 (1938))
See the whole post, including the rest of the quotation.
But such thoughts do beg the question in the title.
