In this sixth episode of our podcast “A View from the Bench,” Washington, D.C. partner George Jarrod Hazel and Houston partner Gregg Costa draw on their experience as both trial lawyers and judges to share their perspectives on what can help to win — or lose — a case at trial. In a lively exchange that includes substantial agreement as well as some notable differences of opinion, they consider the relative importance of opening and closing arguments, expert testimony, jury selection, cross-examination, the presentation of a defense, the use of visuals, and — in what has become an increasingly rare event — the testimony of the defendant. Their discussion is interspersed with numerous examples from cases they tried or presided over.  “A View from the Bench” features George Hazel and Gregg Costa discussing their careers as judges, their return to private practice, and the current state and future of trials. https://lnkd.in/gfcpVBj7
