A good trial lawyer, like a good storyteller, knows how to use narratives to connect with their audience. Often, the simplest stories are the most powerful. The challenge can be cutting out the extraneous details and focusing on what is strongest in a case.
In this episode of Just Verdicts (formerly Trial & Medical Error), med mal litigators Brendan Lupetin and Maggie Cooney share their insights and successes in a recent slip and fall trial. They discuss effective discovery strategies, how to craft authentic testimony, establishing credibility for both the client and the legal team, and ways of simplifying the case for the jury to present a clear and compelling story.
