Show Lawyer Was Looking to Another Day in Courl Associate Justice Wendell V. Stafford Staf-ford of the District of Columbia Supreme Su-preme court tells this one: A certain lawyer was arguing case before a state Supreme court. Things were going against him. The justices had gone off on a tangent and by the battery fire of questions from the sitting justices the lawyer knew the case was going against him. Finally he admitted defeat, saying: "May the court please. It looks as If this case is going to be decided against me. However, another case covering the Identical point is soon to come before your honorable body nnd it may interest the court to know that in the second case I represent repre-sent the opposite side." |
