Clients do not always realize the work that is necessary to properly bring a case to trial. One of my cases goes to trial in 60 days and my office is getting ready. Here is a list of projects we are working on.
- Scheduling witness testimony
- Finalizing Exhibits
- Finalizing Jury Instructions
- Filing motions regarding the anticipated evidence
- Completing depositions of opposing experts
- Asking the Court to order final document production.
As trial approaches, I will be talking to the individual witnesses more so that they understand the importance of their testimony, working on jury selection, preparing demonstrative exhibits, and, of course, opening/closing arguments.
Because of the work involved, it is important that the Client appreciate both the strengths and weaknesses of his case. You have to play your hand smartly. See
