Introduction
An analogy: In criminal law, the State must prove the accused’s guilt ‘beyond any reasoable doubt’. In a civil case, the adjudicator decides ‘on the balance of probalities’: Judgment goes in favor of the Counselor who in writing presented the most compelling, convincing, plausible, believable, credible, realistic, reasoned, and persuasive argument. The decision is taken ‘on the papers’, with little, if any, oral presentation or calling of witnesses. Success in litigation and dispute resolution is largely based on the formula: 90 per cent preparation and 10 per cent delivery. Words, used efficiently, give credence to the cliché, “The pen is mightier than the sword.” A Senior Counselor writes for a living but in certain circumstances their persuasive ability could be the difference between freedom and death. Writing for life!
