About this listen

There is an old African proverb that says, "if you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

Trying cases to juries is done best when you use a team approach.

In this episode, we'll talk about some of the hazards of solo trial work. Sure, you can do a jury trial by yourself. You can handle every phase of the trial, from jury selection to opening, direct exams, to crosses, jury instructions to motions to strike.

But flying solo is not the best or most effective way to try a case. There are just too many phases of trial with too much depth for you to be able o do everything as well as possible.

We will talk not just about the benefits of teamwork, but we'll focus on the specific roles that should be filled when you are building out your trial team roster.

We'll go beyond first and second chairs and talk about the witness wrangler, the tech guru, the designated hitter, the legal eagle back at the office, and the gatekeeper who is guarding the home front.

This has worked for us. It has not only improved our results, but it has made things much less stressful, much more fun, and everyone is deeply invested.
