As a matter of fact, Andrew:-
1. I *do* in fact still practice law, including advocacy;
2. I practised as an advocate in our superior courts for no less than 28 years
prior to the 3 years (Oct.1995 to Oct.1995) during which I was an academic;
3. "Mistakes" may occur with or without negligence. However,to cite a case
for a
proposition for which it is not authority means one of 2 things. Either the
case was not read and understood properly, or was simply not read. In
either
situation that would be professional negligence or incompetence - not a
"mistake".

It has nothing whatsoever to do with "paradigms" or any postmodernist
esoteric academic legal theory !! It has to do with the self-evident.
Presumably *you* never make the "mistake" that your opponents make. That is
because you are competent and non-negligent in your preparation. Unlike
those opponents.
