Great video – lots of fun! I’d like to learn how to tell a better story during opening statement. I get bogged down trying to get ALL of the details across to the jury, and I think I lose their attention. Any tips would be appreciated!

I like this video and I feel that adverse examinations in civil cases should be addressed in one of your upcoming videos and tips for closing argument as well.

I love the Trial Tips Newsletter. Great video, too! It’s good to be reminded that this isn’t rocket science. It makes it less intimidating.

I loved the “treadmill of success” concept. I just need to win my first case to get on that treadmill!

Thanks for the great tips. Would love to see some more tips for improving cross-examination, especially how to impeach witnesses with prior inconsistent statement and what I should do during deposition to lock them down.

Fascinating,!

Thanks Elliott

Great video!! Keep them coming. I’d like some tips on how to handle a witness who will not answer your questions. I had a recent experience where the witness knew it was bad for him so he simply played ignorant on the witness stand and pretended not to remember anything. How can you handle a witness like that?

Elliot,

I enjoyed the video. I bought your Trial Lawyer Success System last Fall and it has made all the difference with my confidence level. I re-read the materials and pick up something new every time. The video reaffirms what I have read. “Always ask leading questions” is a rule I now never break. Keep the videos coming.

Nice upbeat video that makes me salivate for more. I think trial lawyers are like actors – natural born hams and hopelessly insecure. We never feel prepared, even when we are, and we are always looking for more techniques to improve our presentations. But that’s ok, it goes with the territory and we don’t get complacent. I would like to learn some pointers for using tech tools to present demonstrative evidence.

This is great. I will use of your techniques to teach lawyers in Africa when I return to my home country. You made it easy by that line in cross examination: “Remember, you are the one testifying.” I will remember that expression for the rest of my life. I am a visual learner. I can imagine myself testing on the facts I want to enter into evidence with only “yes” and “yes” responses from the actual witness. Nothing as cool as that. Thank you.

Great video. I’m a product of the English legal system and mostly involved in training thesedays … but find the openness and clarity of American lawyers really interesting and useful.

Hi Elliot, love the videos and all the advice you can provide.

Thanks for this video, very helpful – fascinating stuff (though hard to write quickly enough!).
I’m a litigant in person suing a case at the High Court, London and would love to know more about what to do with difficult witnesses – and how long to spend on the opening address.

A very helpful video. Thanks so much Elliot! Your tips like in this video have been a goldmine of significant information that is so essential to a successful practice. Please keep it up.

Simply Amazing! Keep up this amazing work.

I’m really enjoying the series. What advice would you give about determining witness order in a case?

Where do I find these “formulas?” My law school didn’t have a very strong trial practice program, so I don’t have a good background yet…

I totally agree with what you said in your video. I love it and send us more of your proven techniques in court litigation.

You don’t even have to ask me if I have loved the content of all I have read so far from Trial Theater. I have so much saved already it is going to take all my christmas break to catch up.
I am only a learner who has her first criminal trial coming up in the new year so I need all the helpI can get.
Reading and listening to the teaching so far on this web site has given me so much confidence
it is immeasurable.

Not only knowing it, but doing it is important.

This video is excellent. As a trial lawyer and Legal Practititoner, we do need these types of videos in our dialy activities.

This amazing video delivers a very strong message to the person who wants to be successful in his life. It’s correct that ” The surrest way not to fail is to determine to succeed”.

this video was very helping but can you do a video on types of objections and explain when to object.

Great, need more.

I enjoyed the video and found it to be very helpful.
