Reply #111: Exactly!!! Never rely on a book or argument by a litigator of any kind.

I worked in a law firm for several years and litigators are scary. We commercial types made sure they all stayed on the 11th floor. Every Monday, someone would take a crate of frozen raw zoo animal carcasses down to the 11th floor, open the door quicky and throw the meat in, and then bang the door shut and come back up to the civilized 12th floor. Other than that, we didn't really interact with them.

Just kidding.

But really litigators (including prosecutors) spend their whole professional lives learning how to make completely one sided arguments. There's no "on one side, and on the other side" with them, even in casual conversation. No book by a litigator should be trusted.
