True

It is the lawyer who uses words to construct reality – I do not use words that appear in the rules. First I need to collect the material for testing, and only then classify it, only in this way I can avoid the error. A. Whitehead: – each classification is an omission of some truth.

13. Next, I wonder how I would have settled the case on the sole common sense, as if there were no rules.

14. I watched a movie about a chess master as a child. During the next lesson, the teacher of the future master knocked all the pawns off the board and said, “from now on we play without pawns.” The student was surprised. But the teacher explained, “pawns interfere with the game.”

15. The same is true of the law. In the beginning they are needed. But it is necessary to try to get rid of them completely in the game, because their view interferes with the preservation of a clear image.

16. Senior lawyers are sometimes amazed that they do not know very important provisions, but know how they should sound. And that’s why they win things.

17. Asking questions and common sense are the source of all knowledge derived from experience. Even the rules were created like this.

18. The trial lawyer should ask endlessly: witnesses, experts, colleagues.
