Disorder in the Court…and Out of It
I knew Fiance had had a bad day when he came home and announced “My clients are crazy and stupid.” This is nothing new, mind you. It’s entirely possible that he sees more crazy people on any given day than our mutual friend, the psychiatrist, and stupidity is more abundant than hydrogen. But apparently, today was noteworthy, as summed up by the statements below.
In court—
“The court ignored my carefully crafted argument of ‘well, duh!’”
And out of it—
“So, [opposing counsel] wants us to ignore the protective order, because [opposing counsel's client] violated it—what a novel legal theory!!!”

Congratulations! You have reached the most important revelation in indigent representation. Not only are your clients crazy and stupid - opposing counsel is usually clueless.
Welcome to the fraternity, counselor!

Think of it as job security - as long as people are crazy and stupid, they will need lawyers.
