Dear Editor:
It seems that with numbing regularity your Journal addresses the issue of lawyer civility and such a constant theme in the publication suggests that the Bar there has simply never learned good manners from any source. However, the article by Mr. Johnson I read with particular amusement. Were I in court trying the issue of whether new standards promulgated by the Utah Supreme Court for civility among lawyers should be adopted and Mr. Johnson were the witness for the proposition that such standards are unnecessary, and assuming that he testified in the same vein as his article, the court's offer of cross-examination would be met by the following heartfelt response: 'No questions, your Honor. The witness has adequately proved our point.'
