In addition to the fears about Opening Statements and Closing Arguments that lawyers know about – public speaking; captive audience; trials are rare – there are pitfalls lawyers don’t see . . . and therefore fall into.

And likewise, too many trial lawyers don't understand the structure of successful Closings.
