Text: SUMMERS, C.J., OPALA, WATT, JJ., STRUBHAR, LILE, S.JJ.  CONCUR. HARGRAVE, V.C.J., LAVENDER, BOUDREAU, JJ.  DISSENT. BOUDREAU, J., dissenting: ¶ 1 I respectfully dissent from the majority opinion. Norton hired attorneys to represent him in an action against Kuhn arising out of the purchase of 3 pairs of Emu birds. Norton and attorneys reduced their contract of employment to a writing. The first paragraph of the parties' contract consists of one sentence which identifies the parties and authorizes Counsel's representation . . . and other investigations . . . as they deem necessary to properly effectuate such representation in regard to the matter of the investigation, preparation and trial of any and all claims against any and all persons, companies, and others arising out of the purchase of three (3) Emu breeding pairs from Charles Kuhn, a citizen of Texas.  (Emphasis added.)
