Reasoning of the Law

It seems that the main point that Mr. Winter was attempting to get me to realize is that all things are subjective, especially concerning the law. The thing he kept saying the most throughout the interview was, “It depends.” He went on to explain that law is never simply “black or white.” Everything is very gray, and you have to keep that in mind. A quote that made me think about this point from the book was, “Businesspeople sometimes deliberately choose vagueness. They do not want the terms of the contract to be clear. It may be that they are not sure what they can get from the other side, or in some cases, even what they really want. So they try to form a contract that leaves their options open. However: vagueness is your enemy.” (Beatty, J.F. & Samuelson, pg. 209). It basically is good to keep an open mind and to examine both sides of the law, but at the same time, not to be too wishy-washy, and have to firm description of what you want to accomplish. He is a Real Estate lawyer, so he emphasized to get any and all contract dealing in writing.
