The word "secret" here means something about which many may be unaware.
Many years ago, I had gone to bungalow of a Legal Eagle to brief him in a case.
I had reached two hours early than appointed time. So I sat in waiting room and watched his office.
His staff was working on several newspapers.
They were cutting clipping of cases on celebrities from six different English newspapers.
On being asked, they said, they have to prepare clipping files, later Sir, will read these.
Now it is a good exercise. Regarding one case, if you read its analysis in six news papers, it enhances your analytical power. You become more informed.
You can discuss about these cases in social circle more impressively more authentically.
From somewhere, the word reaches to celebrity that you are more informed about his case.
-----
Another Legal Eagle, I have seen, used more direct method.
He had about a dozen junior advocates whom he paid monthly salary.
The job of junior advocates was to leave for different district courts and High Courts and Supreme Court, wherever cases against celebrities may be going on.
In the evening, these junior advocates will return to Sir, and inform him about what was going on in these cases.
Obviously, he will be better informed in all cases of relating to celebrities.
Finest law points are argued in cases of celebrities. So he will know about latest and finest arguments going on in legal circles.
Obviously, they have edge over others in knowledge and information. They are rightly chosen by celebrity clients.
