Your course teaches that a defendant is required to provide ONE brief answer,(admitted, denied, without knowledge..) for each numbered paragraph of a complaint. I am answering a complaint where some of the numbered paragraphs contain several sentences, each sentence alleging a different fact, some of which are true and some of which are not. My lawyer is advising me to admit or deny each sentence even though they are part of a single numbered paragraph. He says that simply denying the whole paragraph will make me look evasive, as though I am trying to hide something. I also take very seriously your exhortation to speak honestly in power and in truth. On the other hand, I want to follow your guidance and not needlessly provide ammunition to my adversary.
Thank you so much. Your course has removed the scales from my eyes. You are doing a great work.
