You find a dusty old briefcase, and after rubbing the grime off the clasps, a genie in a horsehair wig appears and grants you **super-litigatory powers**. With these powers, you are automatically licensed to practise law in every jurisdiction on earth. You may intervene in a lifetime maximum of any three criminal cases, either as a prosecutor or a defender. (You may not _initiate_ any such case, but you may join an existing one at any point up until it is dropped with prejudice or ruled on by the highest court of appeal.) Once you intervene, you will immediately gain certain knowledge of whether the defendant(s) actually committed the crime(s) with which they are accused. You will moreover immediately find and have the option of presenting all the evidence and/or arguments necessary and sufficient to _guarantee_ a just verdict (and sentence, if applicable) that are completely watertight against all possible appeals. That is, whoever adjudicates the case _will_ pass the verdict of your choice, and if applicable _will_ apply the sentence of your choice (as long as the law provides for it), and this verdict and sentence will never be judicially overturned. _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5621))_ _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5621))_ _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5621))_ _Poll ([view on site](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/polls-only-no-discussion/953642/5621))_ ---

I regularly visit a fortune-teller. My sister regularly visits a psychic. We both drive cars to visit these people. My car is green and my sister’s is also green.
