Trial advocacy vs. poker

The Psychology of Compliance & Due Diligence Law blog (http://www.bizop.ca/blog2/000170.html) brought us an interesting and informative post recently. It dealt with how lawyers could learn a lot about trial advocacy by studying the moves of great poker players (and vice versa).

Both the poker player and the trial attorney have to figure out if their opponent knows what he or she knows. In the end, the analogy leads to the conclusion that it's easier to win a court case than a poker championship.

Marquee law bloggers

Concurring Opinions (http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/200 6/05/u_ilinois_colle.html) recently posted an entry on their blog about the University of Illinois College of Law and how they are devoting prime real estate on their website to promote the school's law bloggers.
See it here: (http://www.law.uiuc.edu/). Kevin O'Keefe, perhaps the Susan B. Anthony of law bloggers, took notice and mentioned it on LexBlog (http://www.lexblog.com/).

This all ties into recent developments such as Anonymous Lawyer's (http://anonymouslawyer.blogspot.com/) lucrative book deal that lead me to believe bloggers will be the next cult celebrities.

The law school learning gap

Over at the Legal Sanity blog (http://www.legalsanity.com/2006/05/articles/ke y-lawyering-skills/teaching-real-world-skills-in-law-school/ ) Arnie Herz is talking about the law school learning gap, the chasm between what is taught in law school and the practical skills necessary to survive as an attorney.

Herz complains that law schools don't arm lawyers in regards to client relations or the emotional underpinnings of legal issues.

There is hope, however, as pointed out in this ABA article (http://www.abanet.org/journal/ereport/my26harv ard.html). Even the esteemed Harvard Law School is introducing new lesson plans to teach more practical problem solving skills.

Victory for bloggers

A California appeals court handed down a victory for bloggers in Apple v. Does. The court rejected Apple's attempt to unmask anonymous bloggers who had revealed secrets about new products.

The decision applies to bloggers the same protection afforded to regular reporters under California law.

For a detailed assessment of this important verdict, check Denise Howell's IP and appellate blog Bag and Baggage. (http://bgbg.blogspot.com/2006/05/apple-v-does- decision-issued.html)

Examinging the Enron verdict

Every attorney on the blogosphere is offering his or her assessment of the Enron verdict.

Andrew Cohen of the Washington Post Blog's Bench Conference offers up the Enron verdict as proof that defense attorneys should stop putting defendents on the witness stand.

Analyzing comments made by the jurors after the verdict, it seems that Lay and Skilling sealed their own fates on the witness stand. Jurors said they came across as arrogant.

It seems like a bit of a Catch-22, however, as other jurors said they would have believed Lay and Skilling guilty if they refused to take the stand.
