Particularly under firm and strict guidance of the procedure, every Defense Counsel will soon notice whether he is on the wrong track, whether he is presenting superfluous material and, by presenting superfluous material is achieving an effect which he in no case wishes to obtain.
I therefore believe that, as my colleague, Dr. Dix, just said, the self-control of the Defense Counsel and a well-concerned interest in his case and in his client will automatically impose on him the necessary limitation in his presentation.
[Dr. Seidl approached the lectern.]
THE PRESIDENT: I said on behalf of the Tribunal that we wished to hear two counsel.
DR. SEIDL: I wanted to add only very briefly some remarks to what my two colleagues have already said—very briefly.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, but then it may be possible that every one of the 20 or more counsel who are present wish to add something.
DR. SEIDL: I do not know, but I do not think so.
THE PRESIDENT: I said two counsel, and I meant two counsel.
DR. SEIDL: Very well.
THE PRESIDENT: Mr. Justice Jackson, the Tribunal would like to know whether you have anything to add in reply to what has been said.
