This was, in fact, a very useful resource!
Forced to represent myself in a criminal appeal, I am finding your videos very instructive. I had very poor trial lawyers.
How did it go 👀

I am facing a tough deposition you just answered my main concern about rapid fire yes/no questions and if I can say yes ... But. I have a great atty. Just haven't gone to prep meetings yet. Deposition is in 10 days
Great video. Use those court decorum rules to your advantage
Sir. thanks indeed. it's amezing.. well .. last week I was cross examined over land matter.. actually the defendant attorny raised many questions and asked me to say simply ...YES or NO.. but I did not.. I answered appropriately.. she went mad when I avoid just Yes/ No. Now I know .. I have done the right thing appropriately.. Thanks again for good guidance.. from Sri Lanka..

Hi Wes. I'm a GGU Baxter fellow working in the Marin Public Defender's office. Great video. Thanks!
Congrats. You likely recognize that classroom then!!
I’m about to crush mock trial
I will use this
I'm looking at you!
I am not a law student, but I like the examples you used to prove your do's and don'ts in your presentation. Can a defendant object during an arbitration case that involves an automobile accident?
Right me too.Hesded to the Dental Field but might go back to school for Paralegal very Interesting to me.Always has been
Oh.Snd great video also funny but very true everything he said about a witness trying to not answer yes or no or looking for help.Excellent video.I thumbs It up.
I need to examine my Down’s syndrome sister. She can’t give direct answers. I’m freaking out. “How long have we known each other?” “How did they make you feel?” She can talk but she needs to be encouraged. Probably her team who has instilled fear and destroyed our relationship will say she’s not fit. Im trying to bring down the non profit agency and the entire NH DHHS system. Fingers crossed lol
