I've been really enjoying your videos lately, and since I'm going to have alot of free time over the summer, I was wondering if you had any tips on how to practice speaking skills/improv skills/objection battles over a break?

@mocktrialmasterclass Месяц назад

I'm so glad! The best way to get better at all of those things is repetition. Give opening statements in front of the mirror. Video yourself and watch it back. Don't just read the Rules of Evidence--come up with scenarios, and argue them back and forth with yourself. It may feel awkward, but that's how you do it!

Hey Luke! I was wondering about how one can handle rounds that have bad or unfavorable judges (mainly bad). By 'bad' I mean judges that will rule on objections with limited knowledge of the case or nature of the objection. For example, I had a judge that, in one breath, told the objecting team that their objection was flawed, then said that the correct objection was speculation and then sustained his own objection, without opposing counsel having to say a word. Or, a judge that will allow the asking attorney to respond to an objection, but not the objecting attorney to explain their objection. Is there a solution to judges like that? Keep making these videos!

This is a great idea for a video! I will add it to my list. For now, just know there's not a whole lot you can do other than roll with the punches and stay composed. You're gonna get stupid judges like that, but you can't let it rattle you.

Hi, I’m currently preparing for my own mock trial in highschool! I really do enjoy your videos, they are very informative. A little unrelated to the video but I was wondering how someone can incorporate or weave their theory into an opening statement as the prosecution without just making it seem like I’m claiming something?

@mocktrialmasterclass Месяц назад

Hey! So glad you're enjoying the videos! My biggest tip for that is to use an argumentative tone with the language of a statement. You can convey a persuasive tone while using phrases like "you will hear" and "the evidence will show." Just make sure you're focused on telling the jury what to expect, not on connecting dots with the evidence. Here's a deeper dive into how to write killer openings: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-uxPUI9kqd-M.html&pp=ygUVbHVrZSB3b3JzaGFtIHNwZWVjaGVz

Hahah reminds me of an insurance expert who: -Dropped out of high school and killed (at least) two people in the first page of their depo -Got fired from their landscaping job for it -Lied to their doctors to get prescription painkillers and then spent a year on drugs in their mom’s basement -Went back to school to become a cop then framed a missionary for selling drugs to kids -Got fired from the force for it -Got hired at the insurance company because their old ex-cop buddy felt bad for them -Refused to properly investigate or take notes according to company procedure -Got fired for it -Went back to landscaping and spent the last page of their depo lamenting how unfair life is And the writers felt the need to put a witness on the defense to give even _more_ evidence against this guy! I only included the stuff in the prosecution witness’ own depo! (I _was_ that defense witness so maybe I’m biased, I know a lot of this is inadmissible character evidence, but it’s still hilarious to me)

@mocktrialmasterclass Месяц назад

Goodness...how could you possibly even call that witness? 😂

@cormorantcolors6791 Месяц назад

@@mocktrialmasterclass If only we had a choice! High school, so had to call all three witnesses. The other witnesses on the prosecution talked about this guy as the only reason they got an indictment in the first place and basically the thing holding the prosecution’s case together, so I guess they were just _really_ overcompensating in giving them all those negatives? Idk, that case was kind of a disaster and I loved every second of it lol
