Another reason why televised trials are so intriguing is the opportunity they provide for the public to witness the pursuit of justice. People have an inherent desire for fairness and accountability, and televised trials allow them to see firsthand how the legal system upholds these principles. Whether it's a murder trial or a high-stakes corporate lawsuit, viewers can observe the process of presenting evidence, cross-examination, and the deliberation of the jury. This transparency fosters a sense of trust in the legal system and reassures the public that justice is being served.

by Ken Lopez Founder/CEO A2L Consulting I frequently help lawyers craft presentations – whether it’s the opening statement of a litigator, a pitch presentation for a law firm, or a seminar presentation for a corporate lawyer. And I too am often called upon to speak at events or even off the cuff to a group. After a good bit of trial and error, I have found two nearly foolproof ways of organizing any of these talks that I use almost invariably, whatever the context may be. The great thing about these models is that you can use them in an off-the-cuff speech just as well as you can in a highly scripted presentation. Whether it's the courtroom or your kid's school, these models work wonders. You will come off as inspiring, not just informative. You will appear confident. You will also be seen as following modern presentation styles – the spoken equivalent of using an electronic presentation versus using transparent overhead slides.

by Ken Lopez Founder & CEO A2L Consulting Some people make a habit of denigrating Twitter, saying that its well-known 140-character limit makes it useless for anything substantive. There are several responses. First, it’s possible to link to anything on the Web within a tweet (just use one of the common URL-shortening utilities), so lots more information can be conveyed. Second, a lot of people read more on Twitter than they write. They use it as a sort of personal news feed, scrolling down for a few minutes at a time during the work day to see what’s new. If you pick the right accounts to follow, this works very well.
by Ken Lopez Founder & CEO A2L Consulting There’s no question that in this decade, lawyers looking to improve their trial practice skills cannot afford to ignore blogs, how-to videos and other visual media. We wrote recently about the best blogs and best LinkedIn groups for litigators and litigation support, and, of course, many other social media outlets exist as well.
by Ken Lopez Founder & CEO A2L Consulting These days, much of the best information available in any area of human endeavor is found on blogs. Litigation and trial topics are no exception. An excellent blog keeps readers up to date and interested in a subject far more effectively than a textbook or even a website. And most blogs are free of charge. Everyone should keep up with blogs in his or her own field. It’s a basic idea of staying abreast of what’s new in your profession. Here is a list of 14 blogs that will be of continuing interest to the trial lawyer, whether aspiring or accomplished. They deal with key issues of courtroom technology, trial tactics, evidence, and persuasion in a sprightly manner.
