    Everyone in NB has a lot of persistence. In the last 10 years, they only have 14 dollars in their pockets. They betray their relatives and leave. What kind of feeling is this TM? It's too fearless. Whether the court is a place for justice or a place for reconciliation is a good...

    The film was nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Cinematography at the 71st Academy Awards. The actual content of the film does not appear to be what the title of the film is intended to imply, nor is it mentioned in the synopsis of the film. Rather, it shows a working attitude. Pride will fail. Humble, restrained, and not showing the edge can win. Confidence can be distasteful when overdone. A lawyer, what is arrogant in front of a judge, a jury? The only person who fails to do so is...

A Civil Action quotes

  • Jan Schlichtmann: [narrating] The odds of a plaintiff's lawyer winning in civil court are two to one against. Think about that for a second. Your odds of surviving a game of Russian roulette are better than winning a case at trial. 12 times better. So why does anyone do it? They don't. They settle. Out of the 780,000, only 12,000 or 11/2 percent ever reach a verdict. The whole idea of lawsuits is to settle, to compel the other side to settle. And you do that by spending more money than you should, which forces them to spend more money than they should, and whoever comes to their senses first loses. Trials are a corruption of the entire process and only fools who have something to prove end up ensnared in them. Now when I say prove, I don't mean about the case, I mean about themselves.

  • James Gordon: [to secretary] Every credit-card application we send in, we get two more in the mail. Here's one from some bank I've never heard of, in North Dakota. Fill it out. Fill them all out. It's the last great pyramid scheme in America.
