"Even the best case can be lost. Every lawyer knows that. And if the widow wins big, the insurance company will only appeal it, and starve her out, while a bunch of judges who don't know her and don't give a damn for her kids take a couple of years to deliver their opinion. And if the jury gave her a big enough award, you can bet the appellate judges will decide against her for one reason or another." Gerry Spence, With Justice for None
