The power of the lawyer is in the uncertainty of the law.

Summary

This quote suggests that a lawyer's power lies in the fact that laws can be complex and ambiguous, creating uncertainty. It implies that lawyers have an advantage in exploiting this uncertainty to interpret and apply the law in ways that can best serve their clients' interests. By navigating through this uncertainty, lawyers are able to exercise their influence and shape outcomes in legal matters. Therefore, their power stems from their ability to understand and manipulate the uncertain nature of the law.
