Lawyers of OT, who is the best/worst Lawyer you've seen in Court?

P’ta Mon

I don’t know but I sat in court for a hour this week while two attorneys argued over a parking lot dispute and it was the most ridiculous and petty shite I’ve heard in a while. Even had a live witness testify for 30 minutes about it and the other attorney asked him immature and irrelevant questions. Pissed off everyone else waiting for their hearing to go before the judge.

Probably not what your exactly looking for, but in law school I took a Bankruptcy class. Our teacher was the Federal Bankruptcy Judge. We spent a fair bit of time in class in the court house watching live bankruptcy proceedings.

Watching a judge who is truly a specialist in the area of law he's presiding over is really cool.

Having been a part of many criminal trials over the years, the best lawyer is only as good as the innocence of his client.
Best lawyer with all the evidence of guilt present and a confession from his client can’t make a good defense of the facts.
Only option is to argue the law.

Basically if the facts are on your side, argue the facts.
If the law is on your side, argue the law.
If neither the facts or the law support your client, bury the prosecution with motions.

Edwin Edward lawyers at least 3 times had to have done a good job,,,,

Best Jose Baez

Charles Kincade aka Steve.

Flaming liberal.

I have seen and been on the receiving end of truly great litigators but nobody here would have heard of the two I have in mind but the third is someone most will have heard of. John Edwards. He and David Kirby (his partner back in the day and currently) are an incredible trial team. Edwards came from a defense background and his paperwork reflected that but he really can hold a jury in the palm of his hand. His closings are legendary.
