We at Cravens Law have known for many years what the world is discovering in these last two election cycles, humans are wacky. Despite the investment of billions of dollars into polling and other methods of predicting human behavior, humans are still unpredictable.
Therefore, the dedicated scientists and legal professionals in Cravens Law’s R & D Division have been tirelessly working to derive fundamental “laws” by which human beings behave.
We are very excited to announce that we have begun to enumerate those laws in the hope that they may provide a framework to more effectively communicate and resolve disputes. Our R & D guys have distilled their research and provided the following:
Cravens Law No. 1:
No good deed goes unpunished.
Cravens Law No. 2:
It is better to be insured than to be right.
(Current estimates in New Mexico Courts are that it will cost between $35,000 and $105,000 to prove you are right in Court for a typical civil lawsuit; insurance will pay for the attorneys and any award or settlement so it does not matter if you are right if you are insured.)
Cravens Law No. 3:
It takes an act of God to get a judge to do the right thing, but give a judge the slightest opportunity to screw things up and that judge will jump in with both feet.
Cravens Law No. 4:
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.
Cravens Law No. 5:
Murphy’s law.
(What can go wrong will go wrong.)
Cravens Law No. 6:
Just because you are paranoid does not mean that people are not out to get you.
While our research has not yet been peer reviewed, it has withstood thousands of hours of rigorous real time testing in real world circumstances and our confidence in our findings is high.
