Transcribe →Trial & Heir Episode 10: Developing Trial Lawyers
Oct 1700:38:04Tap to summarize🧠 "The Second Person Inside Me" - From Struggling Student to Trial Lawyer ProEver had that moment where everything just clicks? My evidence professor was brilliant at constitutional law, terrible at teaching evidence. I barely scraped by with a C and thought my trial lawyer dreams were dead! 😅But here's the truth: with practice, objections became second nature. When trying cases, it felt like having a second person inside my brain handling objections automatically - standing up without even thinking!The legal landscape has changed dramatically. Courthouses that once buzzed with legendary trial lawyers are now empty. Many "trial lawyers" today have never actually tried a case! 🤔The best education? Watching masters like J.B. Spence and Bill Colson in action. I learned more in a half day observing them than in weeks of classes.What's your experience with learning skills that once seemed impossible?
