In this dynamic seminar, Stephen D. Easton clearly demonstrates how to effectively focus your knowledge of the conflict and your intense desire to succeed.
Winning advocates view every aspect of trial as a unique opportunity to build and strengthen their bond with the people who will decide the fate of their client—the judge and jury.
Every lawyer—novice or expert—who spends time before a judge or jury will find useful tips and strategies in Thinking Inside the Box. Steve Easton has carefully designed this fast-paced, entertaining, multi-media program to reveal how you can build such strong bonds in the structured world of the courtroom.
Overcome jurors’ inherent mistrust of lawyers. Persuade the judge to rely on your facts and evidence. Marshal the real-world rules (not theory!) to help you tip the scales of justice your way.
Practical and comprehensive course materials contribute to the success you will enjoy after a focused and information-packed day with Easton. His winning track record and his razor-sharp perspective on practice-oriented reality ensure that this will be one of the most valuable investments you make in your practice.
Easton gives you the words and tactics to build and strengthen your relationship with the judge and jury and to help you win your case!
