but this is part of it:

from Carl
f I get your point right, you are saying there is a difference between what people perceive as being just and how the statutes are written. You can use the perception of justice to affect how the statute is interpreted or applied. Is that it?
It will take more than a sound bite - and I want to avoid technical Bravo Sierra.

I'll play with this a bit and come up with a summary of "trade secrets" on "shaping" the "Law of the Case".

BTW: my construct is right for me. I'm a "technician" and not an "artist", which means that I apply lots of preparation to open up avenues to intuition. In short, I rely on perspiration, not inspiration.

That has nothing to do with destructive speed ("tempo") in the courtroom - I like blowing away "an artist's" arguments. Other folks will have completely different ideas.
