Trial Advocacy Goes to the Movies: Go to the Movies for Lessons in Trial Strategies, Techniques and Skills (Trial Advocacy and Doing Justice) Kindle Edition

by Ronald Clark (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars (16)
What do My Cousin Vinny and Atticus Finch have in common? A lot more than you might think. While Atticus Finch’s closing argument in To Kill a Mockingbird continues to inspire viewers to attend law school, the cross-examinations in My Cousin Vinny—while hilariously funny—offers an equally compelling example of excellent trial advocacy.

With the aid of movie clips that are just a click away, this e-book explores advocacy from pretrial preparation through closing argument.

Inside this concise yet comprehensible eBook, which is includes movie clip gems that you can watch, you’ll learn:

• A methodology for writing the script for your trial performances from opening statement through closing argument
• How to effectively engage and deliver a message to an audience—the jury
• Trial advocacy strategies, techniques, and skills
• Whom to cast as witnesses to be called at trial
• How to be successful in trial by watching movies based on real trials
• The ethical and legal boundaries that trial lawyers should not cross
• How to impart your message to a jury with storytelling and visuals
• The concession-seeking cross-examination methodology
• And, so much more

    This book provides concrete techniques and tools which can help someone who is really going to have an interest in terms of creating a good casting, deciding on actors, and directing. This will also make you realize that before doing all the movies - you better have good research, this is to hook up more movie goers to support your movie and the upcoming ones.

    One of the biggest takeaways for me was the emphasis on storytelling and visuals in trial advocacy. The author does a great job of explaining how these elements can help you impart your message to the jury in a more memorable and effective way.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Life Imitates Art?
    Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2023
    Format: Kindle
    It has been said "life imitates art-or perhaps it was, "art imitates life."
    Whatever the case may be, real life and the world of Hollywood are heavily intertwined.
    This little book manages to cover a surprising amount of ground with engaging detail, including:
    - How to effectively engage and deliver a message to an audience (the jury);
    - Trial advocacy strategies, techniques, and skills;
    - Who to cast as witnesses to be called at trial;
    - How to succeed in trial by watching movies based on actual trials;
    - The ethical and legal boundaries that trial lawyers should not cross; and
    - Techniques for using narrative and imagery to persuade a jury.

    I'm not sure if I would rely on the film world for structuring my defence if I was trying to beat a "merda rap". However, there are some interesting tips and it is an entertaining read.

    This book used cleverly used movies to explain the process of a trial and how to get your message across. It was actually something I've never thought about, but I have been a part of a jury and understand the importance of effective communication.
