Scott Duncan:

Now just remember the RULES. The most important being:

THERE ARE NO HOMONYMS IN LAW THERE ARE NO SYNONYMS IN LAW (Unless defined, of course)

and NEVER presume you know what something means. If a phrase in LAW confuses you, LOOK UP EVERY WORD, EVEN IF YOU THINK YOU ALREADY KNOW.

I was 9 when I learned that. Nothing's changed. It still works. Try it.
