I've been through a lot of cases where unfortunately I've bored jurors and the other side has bored jurors. Walt Bithell is committed to the community where he lives and works. As a member of the Ore-Ida council Boy Scouts of America, Bithell is dedicated to improving the lives of young people in Idaho. Part of what makes a trial interesting is good story telling, Bithell said. The biggest difficulty lawyers face is not being able to make otherwise boring facts interesting and compelling.
Every case is really interesting if the lawyer can figure out how to put it together.
Another problem is explaining technical information in a way that is understandable and persuasive. You have to think in terms of how to tell a story. The really good trial lawyers are lawyers who can tell a story, draw an analogy. It's quite an art. Despite the many joys of the job, it is a stressful job with daily uncertainties.
