Well it's pretty useful to get a simple knowledge of the civil procedure in American judicial system. Without commenting the story I'd like to share several thought-provoking lines of Facher:
1."If you're really looking for the truth,Jan,look for it where it is:at the bottom of a a bottomless pit."
2."A plaintiff's case depends on momentum.The fewer objection he gets,the better his case will go.""If you should fall asleep at the counsel table,the first thing you say when you wake up should be 'objection'."
BTW,the oath taken by a witness in the court seems very sacred
Bailiff:"Do you swear to tell the truth,the whole truth and nothing but the truth,so help you God?"
