that he keeps notes because he is a "real lawyer " and explained that notes create a record and are
not a bad thing. 825 The President said , " I've had a lot of great lawyers , like Roy Cohn . He did not
take notes. " 826

Assuming you are "real lawyers," do you take notes? Trump says great lawyers don't do that. So if you want to be great, stop with the damn note taking already!

Do you consider Roy Cohn a "great lawyer"?

Many times I do, sometimes I do not. I guess you are maddy poo about the evil orange man having an opinion on note taking.

I have worked with, for, or employed some fantastic attorneys who did not take notes. And some fing terrible ones who did. And some great ones who did as well.

Roy Cohn? He actually was a pretty good attorney, and could be extraordinarily effective for his clients. Never had the opportunity first hand, but a number of mentors of mine worked with him on some causes, and against him on others.

You seem to have an some issue with the man and/or attorney, my guess based on political grounds. What is your opinion of Roy Cohn, and also, what is your 'line in the sand' on note-taking?
