I have read the following somewhere. I dont remember where. May be helpful to fresh trial court lawyers:-
THERE IS NEVER A DEFENCELESS CASE
- DEFEMCE CASE DOES NOT FLOAT IN THE AIR. IT LIES SOMEWHERE IN THE PAPERS.
- KNOW WHAT TO THROW AWAY AND WHAT TO KEEP
- IF YOU KNOW CASE LAWS DIRECT YOUR CROSS EXAMINATION TO BRING YOUR CASE WITHIN THE PRINCIPLES OF LAW ENUNCIATED
- HAVE A FLEXIBLE DEFENSE THEORY. AVOID UNALTERABLY COMMITTED TO YOUR THEORY
- BEGIN YOUR PREPARATION EARLY AND CONTINUE IT DILIGENTLY TILL THE END.
- NEITHER YOUR INVESTIGATION OF LAW NOR YOUR INVESTIGATION OF FACTS SHOULD BE REGARDED AS FINAL AT ANY TIME BEFORE THE CONCLUSION OF TRIAL.
