I've been asked to find the source (as well as the exact wording) for the following quote:
"When the law is against you, argue the facts. When the facts are against you, argue the law. When both are against you, call the other lawyer names."
I've also seen the last line as:
-"When both are against you, change the subject."
-"When both are against you, pound on the table."
-"When they're both against you, stand on the table and scream for justice."
-"When both the law and the facts are against you, attack the other side."
Some web pages are as specific as listing "R. Rinkle" as the originator or as vague as saying it came from a fortune cookie (no kidding). Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Greg
