Congratulations...black and white, pillars and posts, coats and boots, files and books, arguments and adjournments, tea and snacks, clients and spectators, all put into one....lawyers and liars (not all , you defn. do not belong to this group)
continue to do good work for decades and decades

Lawyers do it in Latin!! Whoopeee!
Wonder whether the root word for Decadent is Decade. No connexion to your anniversaire but just to help you remember THAT decade of decadence--the 80s.
Here's looking at you kid- decade by decade!

Great Going, Shruti! Congratulations!
Congratulations Shru -- you're amazing in every way!
Thanks, folks!
For those asking about the Latin- these words and phrases describe some of the genral principles used to interpret statutes...i won't go into details, but here are some basic translations:
"ejusdem generis": of the same kind
"noscitur a sociis": know from the association
"ut res magis valeat quam pereat": (where alternate constructions are possible, the court must give effect to that which will be responsible for the smooth working of the system for which the statute has been enacted rather than the one which would put hindrances in its way).
"expressio unius est exclusio alterius": express mention of one thing implies the exclusion of the other
"contemporanea expositio est fortissima in lege": contemporaneous exposition is the best and strongest in the law
Other than the actual Latin, i should point out that some of the topical undercurrents might make more sense to some people than to others!
