（单词翻译:单击）

Many years ago, a junior partner in a firm was sent to a far away state to represent a long-term client accused of robbery.

After days of trial, the case was won, the client acquitted¹ and released.

Excited about his success, the attorney telegraphed the firm: "Justice prevailed."

The senior partner replied in haste: "Appeal immediately."
