"We have grown generous with the word “genius,” spending it on quick minds, fluent tongues, and ordinary talent dressed in polish until the word loses its edge. The harm is not inflation. It is that a word used too freely can no longer bear the weight of what it was meant to measure. With Brent Rothman, the word is not decoration. It is measurement. There are levels in this profession. Then there are departures from the scale, not hidden by secrecy but by altitude. I have known Brent for twenty-five years, long enough to distinguish between those who practice law and those who give it form. For Brent, a case is not a file. It is a structure to be understood, a pressure system to be read, a canvas on which fact, principle, risk and timing find their relation. What others arrange, he composes. What others argue, he reveals. Brent is among those of us who understand the private doctrine: dominion is not force. It is proportion. Grateful to have so rarely stood opposite him."
