Hollywood court room scenes do not resemble the cases that trial
lawyers experience. Although storytelling is common during an
opening statement, trial lawyers have limitations in the court room
that Hollywood directors do not have. Sometimes lawyers focus
heavily on the details and complexity of the case, that they forget
the central narrative. Lawyers need to make sure that their story
is clear and concise, important facts are mentioned and visual
images are presented to help tell their story if needed.
Lessons from Hollywood can make a difference if applied
appropriately.
