| 520 | _aLubet's Nothing But The Truth presents a novel and engaging analysis of the role of storytelling in trial advocacy. The best lawyers are storytellers, he explains, who take the raw and disjointed observations of witnesses and transform them into coherent and persuasive narratives.

Why not simply allow the witnesses to speak their minds, without the distorting influence of lawyers' strata | ||
