6.Law school is the place where lawyers learn all the tricks of their trade.I attended a legal class at Wuthering Heights University.
The instructor said,"Today we're going to take an assumed case.A man named Hatfield is charging his surgeon with improper treatment because his doctor cut off the wrong leg."
"Tina,you're the lawyer for Hatfield.Tommy,you are the insurance company's defense lawyer.Tina,you go first."
Tina said,"Well,first I have to prove the doctor didn't know one leg from the other.I use charts,X-rays and slides to show the leg the surgeon removed was a healthy one.To do this,I have to call expert witnesses to testify to this effect and I will put my client on the stand and he will testify he could not find work as a dancer after his leg was removed."
"Tommy,you object because that fact is irrelevant."
Tommy said,"I object."
The professor continued,"I will be the judge in this case,"and said,"objection ineffective.""I will tell the jury(陪审团)to ignore the defense objection.As soon as the defense lawyer says it,the jury will remember his statement despite the judge's instructions.Now,Tommy,it's the defense's turn."
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,Hatfield signed a contract giving permission to cut off his leg and did not specify which one.Once he signed the paper it was no longer the surgeon's responsibility."
Tommy said,"I would like to show proof A."
"What is it?"The professor asked.
"When Hatfield went to college,he failed history and was kicked off the football team."
Tina said,"Objection.His school grades have nothing to do with his leg."
The professor said,"Now class,pay attention.This is very important for anyone who is defending a client in this kind of case.You have to destroy the reputation of your opponents(对手) every chance you can.I hope you have learned something today.As the great lawyer O.J.Simpson once said,‘Winning is everything.'"
