Today's trial tip is simple and concise. It's also a concept that all trial attorneys need to remember in each and every case.
It's a tip shared by Clarence Darrow, was one of America's most famous lawyers and civil libertarians. A gifted and sophisticated country lawyer known for his great wit and agnosticism.
Mr. Darrow's quote is as follows
"The main work of a trial attorney is to make a jury like his client."
During the past 24 years of trying cases, I've experienced firsthand that HOW a jury feels about my client is just as important, maybe even more important, than the law, evidence, or even the truth. Everything I do during litigation and trial is always grounded around this concept.
