Law school teaches to view such thinking as a
winning mindset. And winning is something we
lawyers are taught to do at all costs — and at any
price
(realizing of course that our clients pay the bill).
Again, lawyers are people who will spend
your last cent to prove that we’re right —
and then they’re wrong half the time.
The word ‘loss’ isn’t even part of a good lawyer’s
vocabulary. We must win, at any cost. You see, our
egos are at stake.
Even if we do lose, we disguise it, rationalize it,
minimize it or justify it in some way.
It might be said that we were trained under football
coach Vince Lombardi. He was the one who said,
“Winning isn’t everything, it is the only thing.”
Of course he didn’t win all his games either.
