Most law school professors never practiced law a day in their life... never
faced a witness lying through their teeth, never lost a case because the
other side hid the critical information because they never tried a case.
They are ignorant of the real world. I suspect that most are Democrats.
They should all read : A Civil Action by Jonathan Hare. This is the true
story of a lawyer trying to help his clients recover for leukemia cases that
appeared after toxic chemicals were dumped and hidden.
I, too, have had first hand experience with corporations who have destroyed
and hidden compelling information that they were required to hand over. Do
people really want to live in a society where the liars win and the truth
tellers lose?
