Ideas also drop in a very cerebral and inspirational fashion. New judicial decision alert. Thread Then I have my mouth. My brain, to think and my mouth, to speak/argue. My only tools. My only talents. So there were these set of cases I was assigned to handle at my firm. My firm does a lot of oil spillage and energy litigation, defending oil companies. That is my area too
