When legal partners disagree on acknowledging international law's limitations in court

My co-counsel and I are representing a state before an international tribunal and we disagree on how much to acknowledge the limitations of international law in our arguments because I think honesty about the system's flaws could strengthen our case while she believes it undermines our client's position and the legitimacy of the process itself.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Two advocates are torn between strategic positioning and honest reckoning with systemic inadequacies.
