A strong case can be won or lost by the effectiveness of its presentation. From establishing a compelling narrative in an opening statement, to securing critical evidentiary advantages through motions in limine, to delivering a persuasive closing argument that resonates with a jury, successful trial advocacy demands strategic preparation at every stage.
Drawing on his extensive courtroom experience, GMR Partner Joe Petka led a CLE program on mastering openings, closings, and motions in limine. Joe shared practical strategies for developing persuasive case themes, navigating evidentiary challenges, and crafting arguments that clearly and effectively communicate complex facts and legal issues.
