The First Great Trial Lawyer: Cicero.
From from one of the many great books--all written centuries ago, and in his library long before I was born--my grandfather, Dr. J. Dan Hull, educator-turned-government official, gave me after he finished his career in Washington, D.C., and returned to Springfield, Missouri:
Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system.
-- Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 BC-43 BC), Pro Murena 36.
