“Wise men speak because they have something to say. Fools speak because they have to say something”
- Plato
This quote has never been truer than in a courtroom. Every attorney has been in a position where they think they have to say more, but do not having anything to add. This happens for a number of reasons. Often times attorneys want their clients to feel like they are fighting for them, or they feel the need to respond to an argument their opponent just made. However unless you have something important to say, this usually ends up hurting your position. Remember The Genius Is In The Simplicity.
