SCRIBES

SCRIBES As a self-confident young lawyer, who was also solo practitioner, I would occasionally become so excited with the profundity of a particular pleading, that I had prepared, that I would call up the lawyers on other side, credulously, expecting them to rejoice with me! Youth conceive of be-Alls and end-Alls. Elders, seasoned sages know that the sun shall shine tomorrow, if we did not witness its brilliant rays. Thus, I would also smile whenever in my later years of the practice of law, if some excited young lawyer would call me up to inquire what I had thought of their draftsmanship. And so it goes, as the world turns.
