Whether to see life as it is  will give us much consolation  I know not; but the consolation which is drawn from truth if any there be  is solid and durable: that which may be derived from errour  must be  like its original  fallacious and fugitive. Samuel Johnson  Letter to Bennet Langton (1758) Attorneys and clients make hundreds of decisions in every litigation case. From initially deciding which attorney to retain to deciding which witnesses to call at trial  from deciding whether to ?le a complaint to deciding whether to appeal a verdict  attorneys and clients make multiple  critical decisions about strategies  costs  arguments  valuations  evidence and negotiations. Once made  these de- sions are scrutinized by an opponent intent on exploiting the consequences of any mistake. In this intense and adversarial arena  decision-making errors often are transparent  irreversible and dispositive  wielding the power to bankrupt clients and dissolve law ?rms. Although attorneys and clients may regard sound decision making as incidental to effective lawyering  sound decision making actually is the essence of effective lawyering. An attorneys knowledge  intelligence and experience are inert re- urces until the attorney decides how to deploy those skills to serve the clients interests. Those decisions  in turn  largely determine a cases course and outcome.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45651917504565,"sku":"ByrdShop_3642038131","price":110.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9783642038136.jpg?v=1781845053","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/beyond-right-and-wrong-9783642038136","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
