OT offering
When your brain knows just the right word, you can be more concise. And
sometimes you can slip in the verbal dagger without the victim
understanding what you’ve done.
*Insouciant*
When you want to say the defendants in the medical malpractice case just
don’t give a damn, you can label their procedures insouciant. Insouciant
translates from French as “uncaring.” Insouciance encapsulates the
essence of negligence.
Specious
The law is a learned profession, right? So you would never call your
opponent a liar. But you might assert that their arguments are specious.
Banal
You (and the judge) have heard this (specious?) argument a hundred
times. It’s trite. It’s boring. You could say, “Counsel’s banal
assertion does not justify the position set forth in this case.” This
word is correctly pronounced as many as three ways, though the preferred
pronunciation rhymes with “canal.”
