Steven Peskind presents strategies to help lawyers not bore the judge, trim down courtroom arguments, don’t drone, don’t beg, use tactical pauses, implement rhetorical tropes to keep their argument compelling for the judge, alliteration, trilogies, antithesis, rhetorical questions, and demonstrative exhibits.
Steven’s courtroom advocacy skills are unmatched; so much so that he is trusted by the National Institute of Trial Advocacy to teach its students, who are also lawyers, how to effectively try divorce cases. Thank you Steven for joining us from Chicago improving our firm’s oral advocacy. Our friendship means a great deal.
