[QUOTE="inyati13, post: 1193915, member: 17767"] I can atest to that. :D As the prime witness on enforcement actions for which I was responsible, we often went to lunch with the opposing counsel and witnesses. Especially, if the issue being litigated was of a technical nature and not criminal. In 1974-75, I served the Kentucky Division of Mine Reclamation in the role of Director of the Regional Spoil and Water Laboratory in Hazard, KY. Not a prestigious role, I directed a total of two people; myself and a young lady whom I went to college with. I helped her get the job. She spent more time sitting in the front office with the two secretaries than she did working up samples. My first court case was on an application for a coal mining permit in the Red River Gorge watershed by White Oak Coal Company owned by the Fredericks of Morgan County, KY. The company was run by "Big" Titus Frederick. He earned that name. His niece was a student I had when I was teaching Invertebrate Zoology classes at Morehead State University. She and I were very good friends. Her brother was an attorney, Barrett Federick. I did a water survey with the help of an assistant from the Kentucky Division of Water Quality. I wrote a Technical Directive to the permitting division that the permit should be denied. Titus took it to court. I was our primary witness for the permit denial. Barrett was the opposing attorney. I have no memory of our state attorney. When the Judge made his ruling, he ruled that the denial should stand. Barrett walked over to me and ask if I could meet with him for a post trial debriefing. I said yes. It was extremely friendly dicussion and we there was not the least hint of bad feelings. He congratulated me on how I handled our defense of the denial. I replied that I made it up as I went which was as candid as I knew how to be. [/QUOTE]
