Chapter 1 - Theme and Theory
Chapter 1 - Theme and Theory covers the theory and theme of a case. Trials are about factual disputes, what is counsel trying to prove, and the elements of a winning theory. Chapter 4 - Direct Examination covers two distinct training segments, Sections III and IV below: Section III focuses on the substance of the direct exam—how to structure and organize the examination so that panel members understand the testimony and remember it; Section IV focuses on the techniques—voice inflection, movement about the courtroom, pacing—that make the direct examination more focused, engaging, and memorable.
