!0 pOints Hurry!!!! Abraham Lincoln, Notes on the Practice of Law?

Lincoln was definitely for freedom and peace. What he was saying that even if you win you lose, because of the time it will take to prepare your case, the money you will be spending for court costs and attorney's fees the little bit you win may not be worth it. That an attorney should take the high road and try to bring peace and compromise between neighbors on small squabbles instead of spending time on that of case. That it was a good and decent thing for an attorney to do, because there will always be enough business with cases that really warranted prosecuting or defending.

Do I agree? Certainly when you can settle a dispute by amicable means you are always better off. Once something elevates to inside the court rarely will cordiality ever exist again. If attorney's practiced this perhaps they wouldn't be looked at as bottom feeders.

Try to work things out amongst yourselves before you head for the courtroom, even if you have to give a little.

Even the winner of a case often loses out because of the time and effort spent on his case, usually uncompensated.
