Trial In Action authors speak on Legal Talk Network

Attorney and St. Louis University Law Professor Tom Stewart recalls hearing judges say many attorneys have forgotten the basics of advocacy. So he developed one-page trial guides for the “apprentice lawyers” in his classes. These popular guides contain common sense tips on objections, effective cross, and direct and opening statements that will benefit even the most experienced attorney. Tune in for a quick refresher course on the foundations of law.

Part Two of our discussion with Tom Stewart focuses on avoiding common pitfalls in opening statements, how to direct on direct examination, and what it means to the jury when you start cold and bold. Want to get Tom’s four trial guides for yourself or for others in your practice? Email Tom at Thomas.Stewart@slu.edu and refresh yourself and your team on the basics of powerful persuasion.
