Litigation in Plato's Allegory of the Cave

By Victoria Pynchon

Think of the cave as being "your side" of "the case" -- the facts that fit within the "elements" of the cause of action that will entitle your client to a remedy.

Think of the outside world as representing the lived experience of both parties with all of the texture, ambiguity, dimensionality, particularity and depth of human experience and the particular experience of injustice.

How far outside of the cave are any of us willing to venture?

Hat tip to @BILL_ROMANOS for leading me to this fabulous claymation of Plato's Allegory of the Cave.
