Yehudah ben Tabbai and Shimon ben Shatach received [the Mesorah] from them.  Yehudah ben Tabbai says: Do not make yourself like the legal counselors. And when litigants stand before you [for judgment], they should [both] be as guilty in your eyes. But when they depart from before you [after judgment], they should [both] be as virtuous in your eyes, once they have accepted the verdict on themselves.
