Today is a meeting between my client and the plaintiffs. The latter at first, refused to settle amicably and proceeded to file civil and criminal cases against my client. While defending my client in both cases I continue to invoke the Divine Mediator to intervene and stop a very protracted litigation that will unnecessarily clog the court dockets and cause the parties untold emotional turmoil on top legal expenses.
I knew that Jesus, my Model Mediator can find a way. He who
listens to all sides in silence; hearing not only what is being shouted aloud by the crowd, but also what is being whispered about in hushed voices. Moreover, Jesus sees and hears the love unspoken and the silent grief for the sins committed.(Easing the Pains of Battle p. 42)
And before the meeting I provided the mediator an excerpt from the same book (pp 42-43) which says:

If jesus were presiding a hearing of our Presidents' crimes, he'd probably not mediate... but slap their cheeks in righteous anger.
Then he'd make them turn the other cheek and slap them too.
Hard headed people deserve no quarter.
Yup. You're already rich in humor.
But God is more compassionate than that. Otherwise, I might be asked to turn a third cheek...
Why did you study law if you dont' like to sue?
Jenny, I don't like to sue unnecessarily. Instead of exploiting causes of action I explore means to settle conflicts amicably. It gives relief to parties easily, prevents clogging of courts and provides healing and reconciliation.
I used to think (as a child) that lawyers look for the slightest provocation to sue. It's called Building Wealth a case at a time
There's also treasure in peaceful settlement, mostly weatlth of the soul.
And clients are also willing to pay reasonable fee for it. Lawyers are no longer expected to act as gladiators to earn their keeps. When properly enlightened, clients prefer a peaceful settlement.
