Today's quotes:
"Close enough for government work".--my former Bernstein & Bernstein co-worker, Mark Grayell, describing work product. He probably did not originate this phrase.
"Butler, this isn't a f-ing Federal case"--my first boss, the late John R. Carney, when, as an inexperienced lawyer, I came to him for guidance. Carney was a memorable "character" in a business filled with them. By the way, John always filled in the spaces between the "f" and the "ing".
"Judge, I think you would benefit from a little history on this case".--The opening sentence of every losing attorney who employed it at any motion hearing I have ever attended.
