The act of owning someone in an argument by using lines that are commonly used in a court case. Usually used when someone asks you a question you don't want to answer. This act usually results in your opponent shutting up for good.
Bob: Hey, dude, I heard you were talking about me in the locker room.
John: I wasn't talking about you.
Bob: Seriously, John, what the hell were you talking about? I know it was about me.
John: I plead silence regarding this point of the testimony.
Bob: Wait, what?
John: I stand by my right to remain silent.
Bob: What the hell are you talking about?!
John: You may not accuse the witness of a crime unless you have decisive evidence to back up your claim.
Bob: Dude, you've lost me. What is this stupid crap you're giving me?!
John: The prosecutor may not badger the witness and ask them questions irrelevant to the topic being suggested right now.
Bob: Huh?
John: OBJECTION!!!
Bob: ...

The practice of finding and abusing loopholes in written and spoken contracts. Used mainly by lawyers, in court and in everyday life.
Spoken Contract by Lawyer: If the iPhone comes out at Macworld I will buy you one
Person: Umm, ok, Steve announced the iPhone. You'll buy me one when it comes out in June, right?
Lawyer: No, in fact, I said if the iPhone COMES OUT at macworld i'd buy you one, which it didn't, so therefore I am in no way obligated to purchase said phone for you.
Person: Come on, quit playing Lawyer Ball

Michael: "Dude, your software program made over 10 million bucks! What are you going to do with that cash?"
Rob: "Nothing, I barely made any cash for myself since I had to pay for our 1,000 man lawyer army. Lodsys and SCO have already sued us, but I think we can win this time."
