    In Law school they teach us about the “eighth grade rule”. Basically if you’re going to say anything to a jury, make sure an 8th grader would be able to understand it… And after watching a few jury selections, that honestly seems optimistic.

      Oof, yeah depending on how long ago that standard was set, that bar could be a tripping hazard by now 😅
