The best lawyers are storytellers, he explains, who take the raw and disjointed observations of witnesses and transform them into coherent and persuasive narratives. Critics of the adversary system, of course, have little patience for storytelling, regarding trial lawyers as flimflam artists who use sly means and cunning rhetoric to befuddle witnesses and bamboozle juries. Why not simply allow the witnesses to speak their minds, without the distorting influence of lawyers' strataCritical America.LawUnited StatesTrial practiceUnited StatesTruthfulness and falsehoodElectronic books.LawTrial practiceTruthfulness and falsehood.347.73/75Lubet Steven848027MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450049303321Nothing but the truth2480459UNINA
