    It's a fact of life when you stop and think about it. In a courtroom there are two sides, the side telling the truth and the side that isn't.

    No, both sides could be telling the truth in a civil case. It then comes down to which truth abides by the law.

    I always told my clients to tell the truth if they were asked a question, but never to volunteer any information. Keeping silent is not a lie.
