Precision and perfection are ingrained into the mindset of a practicing attorney. After all, millions of dollars can turn on a detail as minute as the placement a single comma in a contract. So when an attorney commits certain errors, it is only natural that he feels a sense of panic.
But the practice of law is an art, not a science. Each new client comes with a unique set of circumstances to which no set formula will apply, and tactical decisions are often made quickly and under tremendous pressure. Unfortunately, the art an attorney practices is sometimes less like that of a painter, whose mistakes can be corrected by a simple brushstroke, and more like the art of war, where one misstep has the possibility for disaster.
