Is it then the word frivolous being thus employed in the to express to form
character of an attribute, to of instead the word appeal considered
as employed to express the subject will when subjected to the grounds and reasons of the appeal be considered the object designated
the source by the in the character of the correspondent
subject, the expression when when compared with the above same standard, will appear
equally incompetent ill qualified to lead to useful practice.
Those grounds and reasons may be now so frivolous
ever so insufficient in point of reason to warrant the
conclusion built upon them drawn from them, and yet on the point of the suitor on whose behalf they are employed be unaccompanied
with mala fides. It may even happen that they are not so
much as accompanied with temerity. For the be they
ever so frivolous it what may happen is that they are the fruit
of the ingenuity of the suitors lawyer, in and forasmuch as at
where law is concerned it is not endurable that non-lawyers in general should be as hold themselves
wiser than the laws, that is than the lawyers by whom they and were
on pretence of being declared they were made, or at least without
imputation of rashness may a suitor be allowed to
regard the opinion wisdom of the lawyer of his choice of his own lawyer as superior to his own.
On the other hand true it is, that the more frivolous the
grounds, produced in support of an Appeal or any other
legal application, appear to the in the eyes of him to whom
it belongs to judge of them, the stronger will be his reason
for regarding the application as accompanied tinctured either with
temerity or even with mala fides.
