Alan Childress, Professor of Law at Tulane University Law School, on a hypothical telephone call a lawyer might make to a corporate client after losing big:
That reminded me of the hypothetical game some lawyers and I played back in the 80s: how would that one side of the telephone conversation go (a la Bob Newhart) if you had to make it to the client Texaco to tell them they (you) had just lost a 10 billion dollar verdict to Pennzoil? One answer is, "No. Billion with a b."
Another is, "I have some good news and some bad news: the good news is, you lost the case."
