    I'm not a lawyer but I'm trying to educate myself in the law. Thank you so much for this video, I greatly appreciate it! 🙂

    Comparing trial to theater is spot on! Whenever I make an objection, I typically try to act reluctant and apologetic. In doing so, I frame the objection in a way that makes it seem like the other side is forcing my hand or that the law is requiring me to do so. The goal with this approach is to limit the possibility that the jury will be annoyed with my objections. But, there are also times that call for heated objections. It's all about understanding the moment you're in and "playing to the audience."

    This was very helpful. What I found most interesting was supreme court rule 213. & the smell of alcohol is not a qualitative measurement and therefore it does not necessarily denote impairment. S. R. Ridley, A Nurse You Can Trust

    alltho i agree with most of this I think that objecting as much as possible makes the opposing sides presentation weaker or not well thought out

      Kyl Lo Well, You should begin with what are law school requirements

      I would recommend attending court trials in your area. You can just walk into the courthouse and attend almost any trial that’s in session. It allows you to learn the basic vocabulary, procedure and get a feel for the courtroom. In addition it’s free.

      I'd say the real place to start is to get the best grades you can in your middle school and then high school. Then start getting acquainted with LSATs.

      If you even want to, get some inaccurate, but entertaining info from Ace Attorney.

      Notary Kevin yeah start with getting into good colleges, giving mock trial a try as well could be a good idea to see what it’s like

    Thanks for this. Oh-1.75x speed. You’re welcome.

    • @Jamie_Wilson
      @Jamie_Wilson Před 2 lety +1

      I think 1.5x speed sounds more normal, it's fast enough to make up for the dudes ridiculous slow pace when speaking, but doesn't make him sound unnatural. The mere fact I can play this at 1.5x speed and still understand him fully really says a lot about him doesn't it lol.
      Much appreciated though, good advice

    "Did you smell alcohol?" Perfect example, but presenter does not provide an answer to what objection? In-limine only if adjudicated pre-trial, but what if the issue wasn't previously adjudicated? Objection??? Facts not in evidence? What is the proper objection to this sort of slander at trial? Just a layman, but this ad-hoc type of testimony is the most common at trial. Little factoids the plaintiff throws-in to try to implicate and smear the defendant? "I saw him speeding on some other day," for example?
