PrepTest 47, Section 2, Question 4
Aaron: A prominent judge, criticizing "famous lawyers who come before courts ill-prepared to argue their cases," recently said, "This sort of cavalier attitude offends the court and can do nothing but harm to the client's cause." I find the judge's remarks irresponsible.

The point at issue between Aaron and Belinda is whether
ill-prepared lawyers damage their clients' causes
the judge's criticism of lawyers is irresponsible
a lawyer's being ill-prepared to argue a client's case constitutes negligence
famous lawyers have a greater responsibility to be well prepared than do lawyers who are not famous
it is to be expected that ill-prepared lawyers would offend the court in which they appear
