Break

I’m taking a quick break from working on my legal memo which will count 40% of my grade in Legal Practice to write this great story.

It was Abraham Lincoln’s habit to discourage unnecessary lawsuits, though it cost him a pretty penny. One day a man stormed into his office and demanded that he bring suit for $2.50 against a debtor. Lincoln gravely demanded ten dollars as a retainer. Half of this he gave to the poor defendant, who immediately confessed judgment and paid the $2.50. Thus the suit was terminated to the entire satisfaction of everyone concerned. (Galanter pg. 140)
