Making the Judge Happy: Tips for Presenting a More Effective Case at Trial

Event Description

 

Deadline to Register:  January 1, 2015 

Making the judge happy will help you be more effective at trial.  If you follow the rules and procedures, and help the trial run smoothly, the judge may listen to you better and credit your argument.  The judge’s reaction to your presentations may also influence the jury’s feelings about you and your case.  You may gain acceptance or favor with a judge by being prepared and organized, acting professionally, and learning from experience.  This CLE suggests specific ways to help make your trial successful.

Presenter:
George W. Soule, partner at Soule & Stull LLC, Minneapolis

George is at home in any courtroom in America.  He has tried cases in 19 states, in rural courthouses and tribal courts to big city federal courts.  From small-town Minnesota, George went to Harvard Law School, where he served on the Law Review.  He returned to Minnesota in 1979 to begin his career as a trial lawyer.  George has tried over sixty cases to verdict, and is a past-Chair of the Minnesota Commission on Judicial Selection.  He now serves as President of the Minnesota Chapter of the American Board of Trial Advocates.
