This book is written and designed to help practicing attorneys understand there is more to the law than simply the law. I think all professionals could benefit from the ideas in The Art of Law. It offers a new perspective from what is taught in college as our disciplines. There is art behind everything we do in law and the way we perceive what is to come or what has already come. It is clearly important to our history so that we know what to expect in the future. It helps build a perception of understanding and of life and of expectation. The art of law is understanding the perception of understanding all around you and interpreting that understanding to benefit those that hire us to represent them. To represent society, you must understand what society demands. Such a task is an art - potentially the toughest art of all.An attorney's goal should not be to win. An attorney's job is to balance justice in a society that craves a true understanding of right and wrong. Their job is to set up a system in which attorneys, solicitors, counselors, ad litems, anyone, including judges deems it to be appropriate so that the societal system that people can be worth fighting for. When bad triumphs over good, when money flaunts the law, and when those charged with protecting justice disrespect the process, then being an officer of the court loses its purpose. We must believe in the art of the law in an adversary system by showing it the respect it deserves and the civility the people need. Is it possible to understand what should be done when there is only one single person making that decision? Is it a dictatorship, the judge or jurors acting as emperor to issue the ruling? No, there should always be more than one perspective in the system, and we must respect each other's perspective. A perspective is an individual's accumulation of experience and education. It is not based on race, sex, or wealth - it is based on life.
