정의가 승리하다 (Justice Triumphs)

정의가 승리하였도다

[번역 : 일수거인 070901]

한 변호사가 매우 까다로운 사업소송의 배심재판에 나가 있었다. 의뢰인은 그 재판에 출석했다가, 배심 평결이 나올 무렵엔 시외로출타해 있었는데, 평결이 자기편에게 유리하게 나왔다.

변호사는 즉시 의뢰인에게 전보를 보냈다, "정의가 이겼습니다!"

의뢰인이 답신을 보내왔다, "당장 항소하시오!"

Justice Triumphs

A lawyer had a jury trial in a very difficult business case. The client, who had attended the trial, was out of town when the jury came back with its decision, which was for the lawyer and his client.

The lawyer immediately sent a telegram to his client, reading, "Justice has triumphed!"

The client wired back, "Appeal at once!"
