Scalia：《胜诉：说服法官的艺术》之控制情绪
19. Restrain your emotions. And don’t accuse.

Ideally, you should evoke rather than display indignation.


As an astute observer on the trial bench puts it: “An attack on opposing counsel undercuts the persuasive force of any legal argument. The practice is uncalled for, unpleasant, and ineffective.”
正如一位犀利的法庭审判观察者所言：“针对对方律师的攻击会降低任何法律说理的说服力。这样的做法是不适宜的、令人不悦的而且是不起作用的”

美最高院大法官Antonin Scalia与Bryan Garner律师：《胜诉：说服法官的艺术》

This advice applies especially against casting in pejorative terms something that opposing counsel was fully entitled to do.
这个建议尤其告诫不应对对方律师完全有权采取的行动进行贬损评价。
