📚 Just finished reading "The Reign of Mary Tudor" and it’s left me reflecting on the complex interplay between power, law, and justice. Mary Tudor's era was marked by significant legal reforms and challenges, shedding light on how law can be used both as a tool for governance and a mechanism for enforcing personal and political agendas. As a legal professional, it's fascinating to see historical precedents influencing modern legal practices and understanding the importance of fairness and integrity in the justice system. Diving into history always offers fresh perspectives on our current legal landscape and reminds us why the principles of law and justice are so crucial. #LegalInsights #HistoryAndLaw #MaryTudor #ContinuingEducation #LegalProfession

Understanding your venue is important for this reason: how do you relate to the jury? In some jurisdictions, half your jury might have gone to graduate school; in others, you might get just one juror with a college degree. This composition has implications for the language you use, the concepts you explain, and even the pace at which you ask questions. The finest trial attorneys are chameleons who can adapt to any group of ordinary citizens without "talking down" to them. #jurytrials https://lnkd.in/e2kPZyUP
