One of the chief failings of today's trial bar is the lack of the skill to persuade. Less than 20 percent of the trial attorneys are really skilled persuaders. That means that 80 percent of trial attorneys are presenters and not persuaders.

Persuasion is essential not just on the facts but also on the law. Nationally, the trial bar is coming to realize that technology is a powerful tool in achieving victory in the courtroom. Technology programs are beginning to appear on every bar association program. The message is becoming crystal clear. Technology is an essential tool to winning in the courtroom.
