during happiness. I'tn certainly not Vic-.
toria_n~,"except__in my ofce decor, andI've certainly seen enough of life as an'
-._ able-botlied _searnan, iknoclting around -"tlte"_world with Errol Flynn, and trying
cases in every state; but'I do not.-believe,
in this particular area ol. lttun:ut rela-
.tionship, that lack of will power will
achieve any greater degree of happiness.
I will say, howe'92"er. that I don't think
we're more nteretricious sexually thanlecherous ' old ' gr:|nd_pa. We've just
brought sex a little more into the open.§-And that's all to the good. _ '
PLAYBOY: You and Errol Flynn were
closefriends; weren't you? V . ,
BELLI: Yes,' we were.-Vie met when 1".
was retained to represent :t'_sailor who
had been accidentally harpooned92in' the-. foot"by a guest on Errol's yadrt, theZaca. When I went down to Hollywood
to question Errol and walked in wearing-
a white suit and a black Homburg, his:
eyes- lit up. He hadalways been im-
pressed with the histrionics of trial law,%
and I've always felt that I might have.been an actor. After I'd taken his deposi- ;tion,» we had a most enjoyable legal tus- 1_sle, and a friendship began. I-le was;
great company. l~_le lived lifeto the-full-3est: he was up at all hours; he drank_j
vodka before he got out of bed in the-morning; And he had the Devil in him.§
He lo92'ed pixy tricks, and played more
tltatr his share of them. In a dresser
drawer, I remember, Errol kept about 30 '
emerald-looking rin_-.-s, which ht-d giveto girls, telling them with great feeling,
"This belonged to my mother."1

In later years, back in this country, my

The public is buying protection.'_But the insurance-company executivesseem to forget that they are holding the_publics money in trust. They come toregard that money as theirs, and they'llbe damned if they'll give it up without a
struggle. They accept your money readi- ly enough, but did you ever try to collectany money from a big insurance compa-iny? Nine timés out ol ten, when thetime comes -Ito pay off,-they ght toothand nail to get out of their Obligation.

the opportunity to keep on losing mon-_'ey? No, the six-gure adequate awardsI've pioneeretl are equitable, just andnecessary. These ztwartls are here to stay,and I think the trend is /urllmr upward.
But I will guarantee you that awards tothe pczrstnial-injury plaintills will never; keep pace with the insurance companies ,lantastic .a.nd mounting prots. "" 1

Yet according tothern, the noble. stal-

and $l00, 0-just for having lost a

Anyway, when I won_ tln'eeverdictsfor more than $100,000 apiece in 19-19

made everyw_here. Asking not a cent of ;fee,-I began leictttring all o92'er the coun-

to groups of plaintiff lawyers. Sometimes
my speaking in a-state would start an 3immediate rise in personal-injury awards. '
An example of that is Mississippi, which
was for many years one of this country's '
.lowest-verdict states; soon after I ad-
dressed its State Bar Association in 195],
Mississippi awards rose_sharplyto_at
least an equitable level.

. PLAYBOY: What about your Belli Sein-
inars? 92Vill you describe what they are
and what they do? ~-
BE|.t|= For the past 13 consecutive years,
_I and my associates have held these
Belli Seminars in almost every state and
major city in America, and they ha _"ebeen widely_ and enthusiastically :~'t-
tended and accepted by _ trial lawyers,law students and even some laymen. In
then1"we teach in all phases of modern
trial law, on civil and "criminal. sub-
stantive and procedural law. These semi-
nars have done a lot for the law, btit,
not-one has failed t_0 draw criticism from
some local member of die American Bar
Association, some insurance lawyer, or
some large law rm with a business
practice." They raise their old cry: My.lectures are "illegal" or "unethical." '
,;PLAYBOY= On what grounds?
BELLI: I'm teaching lawyers how to raise
awards to injured people. I'm teachingthem how to sue malpracticing doctors
who refuse to testify and who condone
the .~92merican Medical Associations con-
spiracy of silence. I'm teaching lawyczts
how to sue the reluctant insurance con -
pany and how to serve the pro_ce.s
evader. Among the politicians and the
fat cats of the A.l3.A. hierarchy, need~
less to say, none of this law for the
benefit of the little man is ]'1Ill'llC.llIll'l:.'

presidents are constantly ttttrnpe:in_'_f on
the majestic subject "The l3t;;e...-.e of
Unpopular .auses," and protziziiming
that it's every lawyerla duty to give a
courageous _representation of his un-
fortunate brother, however unpopular
he is, however heinous his crime. Th_es<:
are the same great '92-ocal defenders who
whimper, from behind their corpo-
rate desks, when some poor unfortu-
nate's unpopu_lar case has to be tried,
Su're,ihe's entitl;:<l to th best defense.
but you defend hini, I can't all'orti-to!"
Even worse, these preachers of lofty sen-
timents arc the quickest to in_1pose guilt
by association on the lawyer of the
lteiitous-crime client. And these same
A. B. A. presidents are approving the ab-
olition of law-school courses that would
teach the student lawyer how to try an
unpopular case! If we continue dimin-
ishing the hours devoted to criminal
law in our law schools and increasing
those devoted to taxation, -'tt 't»tttati
and the like, we may as wt-I; 3-

intliztitlttul tloctor has a far hi;;bt~r cede
of ethics than when he.acts in con-
ventionf through his association. 92Vith
lawyers and doctors, it seems there's
some sort of collective amorality, a cal-
lous mob psychology, that takes over the
individual practitioner's ethics and hon-
esty. Doctors as a group condone mal-
-practice acts that individually they
wou_ldn't tlreatn of sztnctioning. The in-
dividua-I doctor is so busy treating the
,_sick and performingoperations that he's
forfeited the zttltninistratiou of his na-
tional organization to a bunch of dirty
sons_of bitches who try, because of their
own shortcomings in their profession, to
make him conform to wharthey think
medicine_shou1d be.- They tell him not
to"publicly criticize his fellow practi-
tioners; they have usurped his conscience.
PLAYBOY: Do you_ think it's reasonable
to _expe'_ct a doctor to jeopardize his
professional standing by te_stifying
against a colleague? - _ '
BELLI: .Look, every doctor is licensed
by us. the public, to practice. His train-
ing, his talent, his title, is given to him
in trust, by society. To whom, morally,
does he owe mot'eto mankind. or to the
A.t92l.r92. and the insurance companies
who underwrite his practice? Think of
yourself as a victim of some doctor who
was simply careless. Think of your be-
ing maimetl, maybe irrt~pa:"abl}'. because
of his bttngling and of ymtr lat-ing un-
able to get another tloctor to testify
against a 92vron_;- that he Can plainly see.
My first mztlptutitiee case was my eye
opener to this intredible conipiracy. I
was_r'etained to sue a doctor _who had
prescribed enemas and cathztrtics for a
young man who was suffering classic rt];-
pendicilis symptoms. The boy's cramp-
ing worsened, the doctor sent him to at
hospital where he let him wait; the ap-
pendix burst and the boy died. Not only
-was the treatment patently wrong, but
later I had good reason to believe that
the- doctor was intoxicated when he
made the house call. Are you ready? 1

tloctor's colleagues would testify in court
