Three cheers for Ferrari, for designing a car that collapsed in such a manner to slow the impact sufficiently to prevent decelleration injury, yet not permit intrusion into the driver and passenger spaces.<\/p>\n<p>That is to say, the Ferrari &#8220;failed well.&#8221; When things went wrong, it did its job and accomplished its primary goal of protecting the occupants.<\/p>\n<p>Compare to all the things you have seen &#8220;fail badly,&#8221;\u00a0like the trial case that collapsed when a third party witness mixed up seemingly (to them) minor details, or the litigation that changed course entirely when you trapped a defendant with inconsistent discovery answers, or the complete waste of a day when you botched a filing procedure in the most trivial of ways and then spent hours rectifying the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Before your next trial, think for a moment:\u00a0what happens if I lose most of the court rulings, get beat up by my opponent\u2019s witnesses, and can\u2019t keep my witnesses from fumbling most of their testimony?<\/p>\n<p>If the answer is, &#8220;I\u00a0definitely lose,&#8221; then you need to rethink your strategy. You need to find a more robust theory of the case that can deliver your passengers safety to their destination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"attachment\">\n<a
