Things to think about

Sometimes it takes a conversation to give you a topic to think about. Things that you would not think about ordinarily simply because you would not have to and nothing in the life you lead forces you to think about it (unless it concerns you). So I have decided to chronicle these things for they may be important and might be life saving in some cases while in others may just be interesting knowledge that you could benefit from in the least expected moments of your life.
My topic for the day is: What happens if a lawyer wants to take a toilet break while a case is being heard?
Reliable sources have informed me that nothing can be done and the lawyers have to do something popularly known as "argue and bear it". And its only when the argument is over that they can leave, walk in a dignified manner out of the courtroom and then rush down the corridor maniacally until they find the first loo to empty themselves into. But this has raised frightening possibilities in my paranoid mind.
For I would not want a lawyer who is more worried about his bladder than my case arguing for me. And I can't really blame him/her for it. After all it is human to have a full bladder, a weak one or a bad stomach. Would it be against a lawyer's professional ethics to contest a case while he knew that he might have a full bladder while he was arguing the case? But it does explain why many lawyers after arguing their cases sometimes charge out of courtrooms, ignoring their clients and then vanish and can't be found.
So if you must choose a lawyer make sure he is one that can hold it when it matters. A start would be with gulping multiple glasses of water at your first meeting and waiting to see who goes first. If you go first, and are not a lawyer yourself, you might want to consider your choice.
