Description

In every case, no matter the area of law, litigators attack – skillfully or otherwise – the credibility of their opponents’ evidence: a fact-witness's observations; an expert’s opinion; a document; and/or real evidence. The ability to recognize and craft credibility arguments is crucial to successful litigation, yet few law school’s or law firms (know how to) teach it. This presentation does it brilliantly … and … entertainingly, using 20+ video clips from the watched-by-tens-of-millions cross-examination conducted by legendary trial attorney F. Lee Bailey of Los Angeles police detective Mark (“I Found the Murder’s Glove at O.J. Simpson’s Home”) Fuhrman. Measured by publicity and viewership, State of California vs. O.J. Simpson was rightly deemed the trial of the 20th century (and, thus far, the 21st's), and Bailey’s intense 3-day Q+A of Fuhrman was THE centerpiece of the trial.
