How about "duces tecum"...sounds like "take 'em twice", only backwards...or legal "peace".

I also love the term "pro se". If you represent yourself, you are usually anything but a pro. In fact, you're usually a fool. But I suppose you might "se" you think are a "pro".


They say that anyone who represents themselves has a fool for a client.

I like Res Judicata. I hate what it represents in many cases, but it sounds powerful. Doesn't it sound like a sexual maneuver or something?

Favorite legal phrase - Lucy v. Zehmer - "high as a Georgia Pine"

I saw the title of this thread, saw a few of the posts, and was thinking "may favorite is definitely 'high as a Georgia pine,' I hope no one has posted that yet."

Great minds...
