Connecting Separate Pieces of Evidence Clearly, Persuasively

In this episode of "The Trial Lawyer's Handbook," litigation attorney Dan Small explores the importance of rhetoric in courtroom communication. Although rhetoric has been less studied in recent times, it has enabled speakers to enhance the power and persuasiveness of their words since the ancient Greeks. Mr. Small discusses why key devices such as lists, anaphora and rhetorical questions remain vital methods for trial lawyers to effectively present evidence clearly and persuasively.
