"It takes two things to be a good lawyer: you have to know exactly what you want and you have to know exactly how to get it."

1) Perhaps it is that I am still relying on pagination, perhaps it is that I do not have the text on hand, but in any case I do not recall the quotation coming from Cohen. It is my paraphrasis of what I believe to be Eben's quoting of Marshall. Hence my call for something more, as this class purports to be about more than learning to become "good" lawyers for "bad" men. I believe in the potential of this class, this discussion, this professor, these students. Otherwise I would be less demanding.

2) This step is small but in the right direction. However, I wonder if what we want is something that can really be learned. I won't attribute the language to Eben, since I doubt I would have signed up for a course that set out to "teach" me what I want. But diction aside, my overall point is that I am somewhat wary of what I might want. And I am often frightened by what others want. Consequently, the discussion can neither begin nor end for me with such wants. (I consider "need" to be interchangeable with "want" in this context.)
