F. Lee Bailey Quotations

If I'm offered a good case in Florida or a good case somewhere else, South Florida will win every time.

The memory of the American public is about six weeks.

I can get a firestorm going anywhere in the United States by saying 'O.J.'

I would strongly recommend any young man to stay away from criminal law. It's not a good place to be, unfortunately.

Justice Scalia is predictable. He can be counted on to come down with a conservative opinion, and generally, to bring Justice Clarence Thomas with him.

Among the rednecks of America, which there are many more than people seem to realize, it was terribly damaging. I got blamed for O.J.'s acquittal.

Fear is something you have to throw into a corner. Constantly. Because it never goes away.

I enjoy personal injury cases. I've tried quite a few of those. And, frankly, any kind of litigation that is trouble-shooting, whether it's equities, suits and injunctions, or whatever.

When you see a lawyer trying to pick a smart jury, you know he's got a strong case.
