New Surprisingly,
we are in accord on this one (!) - nicely put :-)

For the religious or non.. I too agree that very occasionally, the word Righteousness need not be an epithet. That mindset prolly is what prevails over the legal phrase-besotted (but not really very interested), when it is time to convince the court / jury of one's earnestness (BTW that 'time' is from square one).

Norman would still have to ask himself how quickly he could hone his arguing skills (maybe pretty quickly when driven by appropriate outrage)? There's something quite effective that occurs when an ordinarily soft-spoken person Raises his/her voice at just the right phrase: Norm, you Could do it IMhO!

That is about the only movie I saw about lawyers and how the court works. Do you think that those kinds of tactics will work in a mordern court?

Suppose I get an ex-coworker on the stand that was also unjustly fired? Let's call him BC.

Norman "You have worked with the firm for a long time, did you get to know your supervisor?"

BC "Yes I did."

Norman "And what is your professional opinion of your supervisor? If you had one word to describe him, what would it be?"

BC "*sshole!"

Other Attorney "Objection!"

Judge "I'm warning you, Mr. King, have your witness refrain from using profanity."

Norman "Your honor, the witness is telling it like it is. If there was another word to use he would use it. But no other word in the English language can express his feelings like that word. If anyone else can come up with a word that means the same thing, without using profanity, I would accept that."

Well, you know the rest.
