Acquisitions Incorporated

Even when the law is not on your side, you can use com-
p lex terms like ex injuriajus non oritur and cogitation is
poenam nemo patitur to frighten people into thinking
you know what you're talking about. With common folks
who don't know any better, you might be able to intimi-
date or deceive to get favors or special treatment.

SUGGESTED CHARACTERISTICS

Plaintiffs come in many varieties. Some are innocent

bystanders who want only fair compensation for their

injuries. Others are professional courtroom operatives,

going to extreme lengths to appear wronged in pursuit

of a large payout.
