You've read of the great cases in our jurisprudence, the landmarks in our law. These cases didn't come into the lawyers' offices with signs on the clients' backs saying 'I am the Dartmouth College case, I am Pennoyer v. Neff, I am Marbury v. Madison.' These cases will come into your office only as humble human beings, perhaps some of them even incapable of adequate expression. These men will be great cases only as you're able to interpret their human rights to legal remedies before a jury and as a plaintiff's lawyer makes them great.
