I come off with the impression of law firms as mercenaries who will write a legal opinion in support of the higher bidder's claim, as long as it cal be plausibly construed that way. It reminds me of the way the TV series The Tudors which I have been watching recently depicts the evolving legal and theological arguments concocted by various scholars and advisors to Henry VIII to support his goal of divorcing Catherine of Aragón.
