Lost for last words?
As trial lawyers, we want to avoid the pressure of not being completely ready for the courtroom battle. How many times have you wished for sage advice and inspiration in preparing your jury argument?
Words are the tools of our trade. As Justice Holmes said: "A word is the skin of a living thought." In this age of communication skills, modern trials often center more on the way you convey the thought that on the thought itself.
As you thumb through this arsenal of jury arguments, you will find a wealth of source material and inspiration that can be used to convince and persuade the jury to do
what you want them to do.
