People are like, I don't know what you're supposed to do.
That's just not the truth.
It's not like it is on TV.
You will lose cases.
In fact, if you haven't lost a case, you haven't tried enough cases, is what they say in the attorney world.
Because I can't choose the law that applies.
I can't choose my client's facts.
You have to play the cards that you're dealt.
But how I advocate it is different.
What I teach is arguments are not something to win.
They're something to unravel.
You find knots in conversations.
In law, there's this thing called the jury instructions, meaning at the very end of the trial, let's say you've had two weeks worth of evidence.
You had openings, all your motions, and you're finally at the end, and the jury's about to go back and make a decision on something.
They have a document called the jury instructions.
And it's written out who's responsible, this person, this person.
They do this, yes or no.
They add percentages.
They might add money, whatever it is.
It is this document that controls the ultimate outcome of the entire case.
