Great Theater, Credibility and Hard Work

An excellent podcast with guests who are experts in their field. Wonderful to hear that “Great theater” is still important for an attorney to capture the hearts and minds of the jury! Establishing credibility is critical for a trial attorney: prosecutors and defense. Greatly appreciated Craig Cooley’s podcast and brought tears of admiration listening to him and his incredible humility. Hard work greatly emphasized by John Shea podcast and the key to a successful career. Loved the quote he mentioned by Charles DeGaulle! This podcast is an excellent resource for trial attorneys as well as those in law school plus those considering going to law school and practicing law. It is also very clear that the hosts prepare very well and do their research in advance for these conversations. Thank you!
