I was recently reading a book by Vincent Bugliosi and he advocated many of these same techniques, particularly knowing/anticipating what the defense is thinking. Anticipating their arguments and what they really want. It really helps organize your thoughts and arguments. Great video! Can't say enough about how helpful these tactics are. Regarding your last point, "weave a story," I can vouch for its usefulness. I have to write a lot of reports. How did I become a better report/nonfiction writer? By using fiction writing techniques and vocabulary. It's the same when giving a speech or presentation. Use a story structure instead of just a linear structure. Thanks so much.
All of this is great in theory, but in reality, nothing matters when you are fighting a corrupt legal system. I got sued by my dad in an attempt to extort control and money from me. He went through two lawyers (the first one dropped him because he had nothing real and was lying about everything) and absolutely destroyed himself in court with the second one (who made it clear he wasn't even reading anything either party was submitting). My legal defense people were amazing way above what I had hoped for. Yet, I still lost because the judge kept throwing out all of our evidence due to "There's too much to read here, so I am not even going to try."
I work in construction project management; subsequently managing the enforcement of contracts. Usually the arguments that we have with contractors encompasses what they get paid for and what they don’t. I have found that some contractors are really convincing at arguing a position or point to a 3rd party but when doing so they fail to back up their claims with contractual terms and usually when those items are brought to light their dog and only show falls apart.
Exactly! This is a great example. It might seem obvious, but I can't believe how many people think they can argue without first knowing their stuff (like contractual terms). We should start there and then build arguments.
Mmm Are you kidding of course people can remember 10 years back and describe it like that I can. I know I can so I know that I can’t call somebody a liar that does that that’s just somebody who shares too much information so back to that one.
Not kidding at all. While some people do have exceptionally good memories, for most people, if you give an unusually high level of details (especially if the occurrence was may years ago) you will seem less believable. Again, I'm not saying there are no exceptions to this. It's just something that we should be mindful of when we're trying to have a successful argument. In other words, you don't want to try to convince someone that you're believable by giving an unusually high level of details (because that will actually make you seem less believable, not more believable). It sounds like you have a very good memory!

I haven't read that book by Vincent Bugliosi, but I will now! Excellent comment. Thank you!

I'm sorry you went through that. As an attorney, I can only agree that the legal system in the US is far from perfect.
Yes, Johnny Cochrane spoke Ebonics in court. You butchered it. 🙂
