to draft or not to draft

i have taken it upon myself to alleviate the deathly tone of one of my principles and draft an affidavit opposing an application for summary judgment myself... this is no mean feat what with the whole '0' days experience i have at doing this, but he seems reluctant to answer a single query i have so, if it sucks we know where the blame lies - my head obviously...

i have read, read and read very many cases - the art of lawyering is knowing more than the other side, not necessarily uber important what you know but you must know more, so onward with the reading. i have found very many a case which question the skill level of my opposition and his ability to responsibly discharge his duty to his client and at the risk of sounding conceited led me to wonder what he was so pucker about on the telephone - obviously dealing with a clerk has led him to believe he can rest on his laurels... au contraire monsieur! never underestimate your opponent, or a blood thirsty little clerk who has nothing else to do with the day than read and research while you lunch...
