Abstract
Certain misconceptions about the law are common among physicians. The purpose of the legal system is to resolve disputes rather than dispense "justice." The rules of law are neither stable nor clear. Truth cannot be recovered for purposes of litigation; therefore, the evidence alone must determine the merit of a case. Many factors other than merit may also contribute substantially to the outcome of litigation.
