Today, I give credit to my friend in the Trenches, Lorraine Prete, for sharing this gem from the IACP Forum. Go get a piece of paper. No, really. Go get a piece of paper. Got it? Good. Look at the paper. It represents what you know about yourself. Fold it in half; that's what your best friend knows about you. Fold it in half again; that's what your spouse/significant other knows about you. Fold it again; that's what people who know you know about you. Fold it again; that's what you tell your lawyer about yourself. Fold it again; that's what your lawyer tells the judge. Fold it one last time; that's the information about you on which the judge makes a decision. Sobering, isn't it? Here in the Trenches.
