Success

Counsel's cant

You ask for an adjournment so you can speak with the opposing counsel – with your client present, of course! You ask a series of innocuous-sounding questions [...] The devils[...] return [...]with pleased, understated smiles at all the things you haven't said.


Failure

Cagey

Opposing counsel declines your request for a meeting. Your case will be none the worse for it, but nor will Hell know of your good intentions.
