You need help. You need more time, more understanding, better resources, or better compensation. What you really need is someone to stand up for you, to fight for your needs and your wants. Imagine if you could hire someone who publicly supports you and all that you need. Imagine that person will fight for all […]
Thank you!!! I can’t believe another challenge is over, and I can’t believe how much you all taught me! Your comments were fabulous, and I appreciate you more than you know. Hopefully you’ve realized that you are your own best advocate. You know yourself–what you want, what you need, what you can do and what […]
Can you believe that this challenge is over? I’ll be sending an email this weekend about the surprises I’d promised but for now–our last challenge. Lots of our challenges have brought us to this point. Making objections, asking questions, and using your voice are all skills you must learn in order to be a strong […]
If you want to persuade someone, you don’t do it with judgment. You don’t do it with fury, or even anger. You don’t do it with the strength of your conviction, or the weight of your emotion. Most of the time, these things have no authority over those we wish to convince. You persuade with […]
It helps to detach from your outcomes. You are not your failures. You are not your successes either. You aren’t this argument, this fight. You’re so much more than that. And when you realize all that you are, you can put all that you aren’t in perspective. The strange thing is the ability to detach […]
When you think trial and error, don’t forget the error. A scientist can make discoveries without many failed attempts, and often the biggest discovery is in the error. Think penicillin. If you’re not willing to err, you aren’t going to succeed. Victory takes time I love the phrase “not yet”. Appellate lawyers are the kings […]
Everything you do is a type of trial. Not the type that is hard and difficult, like trials and tribulations. But more the type that is a test, like trial and error. In court we test our evidence in front of the jury. In life, you test yourself. You try. Trying means putting yourself out […]
Every time I get up to cross examine an adverse witness, I remind myself of his dignity. Every human being has it, simply by virtue of being alive. As I approach this witness, I can attack his evidence, her story, his credibility, or her bias, but I cannot take her dignity. I will not try. […]
In my job as a trial attorney, I see more conflict than collaboration. While I work with my team to prepare for trial, the actual case is inherently a conflict. More often than not, there’s a lot of yelling. However, now I work with companies and individuals, giving them specific tools to ask better questions, […]
I used to think trials had to be serious things. Often my cases involve patients with catastrophic injuries–brain damage, paralysis, and death. Always, the cases are vitally important to my clients. Theses are doctors who went to school and studied and trained to help people. Now they are accused of hurting. It’s serious business. And […]
