As a trial lawyer, what do you really need in order to win your case? Attention — the jury’s attention. I don’t mean that in the narcissistic “everyone look at me” sense. When I say every trial lawyer wants more attention, what I mean is that before you can build a rapport with the jury and earn their trust, you have to fight a war — the war for the jury’s attention. “Attention” and “connection” are the key elements needed to win the minds and hearts of the jury.
Like it or not, we are in the midst of an attention war. We need to confront the reality that the jury’s attention can no longer be taken for granted. We have to change our way of thinking to focus on gaining attention before we can leave lasting impressions. The jury’s attention must be the currency that every trial lawyer trades in. In this presentation, I will talk about how storytelling can help lawyers to cut through all of the noise and distractions of everyday life in order to connect to the jury on a human level.
At first blush, the similarities between the theater and the courtroom might seem as disparate as the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning. But when you look beneath the surface, the connections between the two are strikingly similar. At its core, theater is rooted in the idea that “art expresses human experience.” The same is true for trials. The very essence of a trial is a story — the story of a human experience. The goal of the attorney is to draw the jury into a re-constructed reality of past events such that they “see” what happened even though they were not present to witness the original event.
The attorney is the producer of that event as well as the writer, director, and the actor in that event. A play is also a live event with story at its core. The goal of the actor is to transform personal experience into a universal and recognizable form of expression that has the ability to change something in the spectator. Actors must guide the audience on a journey bringing with them their minds and hearts.
I've become fascinated with how the creative world of acting overlaps with the courtroom and how the connections between these two disciplines can be exploited for the good of my clients. This has become my life’s work. It has ignited something inside me. It exhilarates me in ways that I cannot describe. Come join me on this wild ride.
A New Lens on Justice_ The Impact of Trauma-Informed Approaches in Criminal J...Jolene Maloney

Adopting these practices requires training and a shift in mindset for police officers, attorneys, judges, and corrections officers. Training focuses on enhancing empathy, improving communication skills, and implementing de-escalation techniques to prevent re-traumatization of individuals in the criminal justice system. Moreover, it encourages professionals to consider alternatives to incarceration, such as diversion programs and therapeutic interventions, which can provide the necessary support and rehabilitation.
Losing my husband, Franklin Kurchinski, was heartbreaking, but I never expected the legal battle that followed. He and I worked hard for over two decades and had a premarital agreement and two daughters together, “Jacque and Cici”. After his passing, the probate process drained the estate he left behind in Florida, USA.
This was my first time in court, and I had no legal experience. After a year, I realized that probate is a “Land of Fees”—a system where lawyers and court officials profit while grieving families suffer. Franklin never wanted his estate to go to probate. He wrote multiple wills and a trust, but despite these legal documents, nothing could prevent his estate from entering probate.
I am sharing my story to help other families avoid the same mistakes and protect their assets.

Intellectual Property Rights(IPR) are becoming increasingly important, in this age of connectivity. The formation of the IP Divisions, at the High Court level, beginning 2021, is another indication of importance of IPR and our government's commitment to resolve the disputes therein. Being easily amenable for reverse-engineering, the protection of Pharmaceutical IPRs is vital. Thus, emerged the Third Amendment to our Indian Patent Act, being promulgated from 1st January, 2005 onwards. Among the various Pharmaceutical Products, Linagliptin too has become a subject of litigation, whose history, in three stages, namely (1) the Parent Application Stage (2) the Divisional Application Stage and (3) the High Court Appeal stage is presented here.
