I came across this article from the New York Times posted on a bulletin board in Hartford Superior Court. It’s worth reading. Again and again:
“Most clients think they are completely right,” Michael Shepard, a lawyer at Heller Ehrman in San Francisco. A good lawyer has to be able to tell clients that a judge or jury might see them differently, he continued. “Part of it is judgment and part of it is diplomacy.” New York Times 08/07/2008
Unfortunately, there are many lawyers who also think they are completely right–how do we handle them?
