Think Like Judge : Actions are classified by Law as 1) Actions according to law, and 2) Not according to law

This is how legal system works.

When a man is produced as an accused in court, it is not possible for a judge to know with certainity, whether he is a good person or bad person.

What is possible for a judge to know is

1) To ascertain what exactly is the action attributed or relatable to this person

2) Whether the said action is in accordance with law or not.

These are the areas where there can be some certainity.

These are the areas on which judges prefer to hear lawyers.

The true role of lawyers is to assist judge in arriving at correct conclusion in these two areas.
