November 3, 2023 5:30 PM||TLU n Demand
Speed Trial: Method and Application - The traditional model of trial has been reinvented into a more streamlined model that maximizes results and minimizes chances for juror distraction and confusion. Come learn how to apply the power of focus to your cases. This presentation will present theory, advice on how to apply the theories in real-world application, and then examples from real-world cases.
You will learn how to:
- Change the way you think about case preparation so you are always thinking “toward” trial
- Tips on defining what your case should be about (beyond the facts to why every juror should care)
- Editing your case to keep the focus on your strongest points and minimizing the “noise” and learning about “light switches”
- Finding ways to make your case about something more important than the problems in your case
- Streamlining your order of proof with techniques like summary witnesses
- Streamlining direct examination using effective purpose-driven introductions and qualification, jury-centric questioning and “light switches”
- Powerful cross-examination using the light switch techniques and refusing to engage in tilting at windmills
- Bring it home with powerful closing arguments
