I give many of my clients who are plaintiffs what I call "the talk." People come to me wanting justice or closure or for the other person to see they were wrong and apologize. I tell them that the legal system is not designed to give them any of those things. I cannot get them any of those things. What I CAN get them is money (and in rare cases, an order requiring the other person to stop doing something, or even rarer cases, an order that the other person has to specifically perform on the contract). If they want closure they should see a therapist. If they want an apology or justice, most likely, they are just out of luck.
