When preparing for an appellate argument, D.C. solo practitioner Christopher Warnock consults pretty much the same sources that any thorough lawyer would: trial transcripts, depositions, casebooks, law reviews, law reporters, and such. But probably unlike any other lawyer in town, Warnock might also sit down at his computer and, using commercially available software, generate a chart that shows the alignment of the planets at the precise time the hearing is scheduled to begin. With such a chart in hand, Warnock could thus take a stab at astrological event analysis in an effort to handicap his chances in court.
Crazy? You might think so at first, certain that the whole business is unadulterated hooey. But spend some time with Warnock, let him tell you about his beliefs and experiences, and you might be surprised to find some fissures developing in your rock-solid wall of skepticism.
