The Living Force
Sir Isaac Newton had a theory of how to get the best outcomes in a
courtroom. He suggested to lawyers that they should drag their arguments
into the late afternoon hours. The English judges of his day would never
abandon their 4 o'clock tea time, and therefore would always bring down
their hammer and enter a hasty, positive decision so they could retire to
their chambers for a cup of Earl Grey.
This tactic used by the British lawyers is still recalled as Newton's Law
of Gavel Tea.
