Practice

Dispute manuals have a theoretical layout. This does not mean that they are devoid of qualities. I appreciate prof. W. Broniewicz’s manual very much. I look to many others. But that’s not enough. The layout and order of the problems in the manual does not correspond to how this works in practice. In practice, the court dispute begins with a meeting between the Client and the lawyer. This is where some British textbooks begin. However, it should be repeated: practice cannot be replaced by anything. My modest aim is therefore to show the context in which litigation is practiced. If they find something interesting about Older and Experienced Lawyers, it will be more rewarding for me. I hope that the Younger will find something worthy of attention. Legal problems do not appear in the life and activities of clients as theoretical concepts, but as real obstacles to
(a) achieving the objectives or
(b) maintaining the existing state.

For the Client, legal problems are relevant inso far as they cause certain effects on the Client’s assets, income or liabilities. Any question you ask always relates directly or indirectly to such and only such effects. The law, as such and in itself, is never something interesting and noteworthy for the Client.
