Esteemed colleagues, Happy Friday to All! I am in my second semester of law school and preparing a presentation for my legal research and writing course. My topic is the importance of "The Tale" based on Ross Guberman's book "Point Made." I would like to obtain additional thoughts and opinions from practicing attorneys to share with my class of what you believe are some of the most important things to do when telling your client's Tale. Thank you in advance. Cheers, Amanda #Dear1L #lawyers #lawstudents #curious1L

Listening Attentively. Imagine plight of a trial court judge. He has to sit about 5 hours, in middle of lawyers and litigants. Everyone is watching his every action. He cannot even sneeze or yawn without being noticed. And he has to listen attentively. He has to figure out what this lawyer is trying to say, without being distracted by the different noises coming from the other lawyers in the room. And then, he has to pass orders. His orders need to be carefully worded. So that they stand even if they are scrutinized by superior court judges and litigants. He needs to be correct on facts and correct on prevailing precedents of law. An in the process, he develops ability to "Listen Attentively". Mastery in listening well is required in legal profession.

No matter where you get in life, teach others and give of your time. Thank you Gate City Bar and Bryan Cave for hosting the Speed Networking event yesterday for young lawyers and law students.

I can always tell when the professors in the Ruth Lilly Law Library at Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law shares my video with newly minted 1Ls giving them law school advice and discussing the importance of conducting legal research. I tend to get a lot of “views” on my LinkedIn profile from students at the start of the year. Law students, it’s okay to connect!! Let me be a resource for you. Law school can be hard and unnerving at times, so allow me to help navigate the process with you. Wishing you all a successful school year. #lawschool #1L #IUMcKinney #lawschooladvice #legalresearch

J.D. Candidate at Campbell University School of Law #CampbellLawCaleb🐫👱🏼♂️ | #LawReviewCaleb📚👱🏼♂️
Greetings from 🐫👱🏼♂️ #CampbellLawCaleb! Week Seventeen of Law School: I have officially finished my first semester of law school! I am 1/6 of the way there! Here are four annoying things I learned to correct people on during my first semester... 1. You were battered, not assaulted (Torts) 2. You were burgled, not robbed (Crim) 3. The Court of Public Opinion is not a real court (Civ Pro) 4. Using passive voice is an honor code violation (Legal Writing I)

From Jill Backer ESQ/CIPP-US, associate dean for professional development and alumni affairs of Ave Maria School of Law: "Are Law Schools Now Teaching Students How to Practice Law?" "Traditional skill building of knowledge of legal doctrine, legal research skills and excellent written and oral communication skills are still tantamount to becoming a good and ethical lawyer," she writes. "However, just as important are strong work ethic, client responsiveness and effective communication, grit and organization among other skills."

Law students, if you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough. This is true for your readings, exam writing, and legal writing in law school. Also true for negotiations, oral arguments and law in motion in the practice. Hone this skill now and watch your grades increase. Enter the practice with it and narrow the experience gap, persuade opponents, judges, and juries, and be the best advocate for your clients. #lawschool #lawstudent #lawstudents #prelaw

The art of reduction is a key writing and thinking skill to hone as you apply to law school, in law school, and every day of the practice! #lawstudents #lawstudent #lawschool #prelaw

THIS IS A PERSONAL ACCOUNT Assistant District Attorney General - Trial attorney handling criminal cases. Opinions my own.
Law students, If you are going into trial work, you need to lose jargon and legal speak. Jargon is part of every profession, trade, and occupation, but it is specific to those areas and isn't helpful for communication with those not part of the group. Legal speak makes you sound like a lawyer. Prized by law schools and appellate courts, legal speak is a death blow to your case. Juries are not made up of law professors and appellate judges. Jargon and legal speak - the temptation to use both is real. Don't. #lawstudents
