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.
