The Illinois Trial Practice Weblog

[TIP] The Illinois Trial Practice Weblog by Evan Schaeffer has consistently high-quality tips and notes about trial advocacy. Some items are, as the blog's name suggests, focused on Illinois practice, but many are applicable to anyone developing trial skills.

From the current posts, I recommend:

• Testifying at Trial: Don't Let Your Client Make These Disastrous Mistakes (Jan. 25)
• An Organizational Tip I'm Going to Try Myself: The Case on a Single Page (Jan. 4)
• Learning to Be Comfortable in a Courtroom (Dec. 30).

You can find lots more by using the list of Categories (e.g., Closing Argument, Courtroom Tech, Evidence) in the sidebar on the left.

Are you a senior attorney who gives assignments to associates, law clerks, or externs? Take a look at Giving Legal Research Assignments to Others (Dec. 14). And if you are an extern, clerk, or associate, take a look at it anyway and think about asking for that information when you get assignments, even if your boss forgets to give it to you.
