The Lawyers’ Danceby Taylor GrahamThe plaintiff’s lawyer offers a complaint.His partner on the other side (a saint of charity for the oppressed) bows deep. Their clients samba sleepless in their sleep, they dream of dollars dancing out the door. The steps are intricate out on the floor. The Legal Waltz goes on, its costs are steep, as you can bet attorneys don’t dance cheap.
