To me, litigation is anything to do with handling lawsuits, and you need to know the area of practice to know what it means. You can’t just call yourself a litigator — you need a modifier or an explanation. For example, if you are a tort trial lawyer, you wouldn’t call yourself a litigator. That’s meaningless. That lawyer should say s/he’s a trial lawyer. Or if you do insurance defense then I know you deal in pretrial, settlement as well as trial when necessary. If you are a commercial litigator, I know it is going to be a somewhat more sophisticated practice, with more motions, documents, etc. and not so much stand up. Other areas have their own unique practices — antitrust litigator, class action defense, securities, IP, landlord-tenant, etc.
Litigator, by itself, is like getting as far as animal-vegetable-mineral in 20 questions. You dont’ know much yet.
I’m not aware of anyone on the OT saying they don’t believe in evolution.
oops- my bad, legion. I got confused with who said what. I do read your posts- obviously just not carefully 🙂
The only problem i have with the rain is that there are too many stupid people who don’t know how to operate an umbrella.
“You dont’ know much yet.”
Sorry — “don’t”
Typo, not apostrophe ignorance.
Thanks, Slopey. That was kinda my take on it…varies according to the area practiced.
