Barristers are supposed to like words. After all, without
them we’d have no excuse to wear our gowns and wigs in public. So
you might be surprised to learn that some counsel dislike words, or practice as if they do. Clogging submissions with such dross and confuscation
as to make them meaningless.
Even barristers who like words can get things wrong. Trials happen in real time and sometimes shit happens. (This phrase has Prime Ministerial approval in Australia)
