While its true that the quote, Lets kill all the lawyers came from the stroke of Shakespeares pen in Henry VI, Part 2, Act IV, Scene 2, there are many things that we, as lawyers, can learn from the Bard. Remarkably, the lawyer who stands before a jury finds himself in the very same position as that of a Shakespearean actor: he or she must rely exclusively on their words, their voice, and their bodies, including their gestures and their mannerisms, to tell the story.
It should come as no surprise that audiences back in Shakespeares day had a sharp ear for listening. However, in todays age of smart phones, electronic devices, and short attention spans, everything about progress has taken us further and further away from being expressive with our words. Look no further than hashtags, emojis, and text messages with abbreviated words that we need our kids to help us decipher.
In the twenty-first century, we face the challenge of marrying the Elizabethan tradition with our modern tradition. In marrying these two traditions, this presentation will extend beyond the Bard and explore those techniques used by great wordsmiths from songwriters to storytellers and orators whose voices and words resonate with truth. Buckle up and get ready for a wild ride.

A lawyers professional obligations, including diligence (Rule 1.3), communication (Rule 1.4), confidentiality (Rule 1.6), safeguarding property (Rule 1.15), place significant duties on attorneys, and require constant attention and vigilance.
At the same time, the dizzying ways in which communications and technology tools are changing the way lawyers and their clients work make maintaining competence (Rule 1.1) a constant learning challenge and a continuous work in progress.
And when new computer technologies, growing caseloads, budget constraints, and new competitors force changes in the way we do our jobs, some of the tools that have served us well in the past may fall a little short. Without sufficient mental clarity, cognitive function, and energy, maintaining professional competence, client service, and keeping pace with change can be a tall order.
As a result, managing change when the new becomes the normal can be overwhelming. Unfortunately, too many of us react to the distresses of our professional and personal challenges by isolating ourselves and turning to unhealthy and dangerous actions and habits.
This presentation offers a little bit of perspective on some of the reasons the jobs we do often make us more susceptible to isolation and destructive behaviors, argues that a healthy mind is a crucial tool for anyone navigating change and uncertainty, and offers some practical strategies for surviving- and hopefully thriving- in an uncertain world. A healthy lawyer has the tools to satisfy her professional obligations
This presentation will also address some of the cognitive biases (reasoning flaws) that may affect not only legal decision-making processes, but health and well-being choices. By learning to be aware of cognitive bias and the way it may influence our thoughts and actions, we can improve our decisionmaking process- and hopefully our choices.

At first blush, the similarities between the theater and the courtroom might seem as disparate as the difference between the night and the day. 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.

This ebook provides a comprehensive exploration of the theme of perfectionism, the inner critic, and the importance of being present in both personal and professional contexts, particularly in legal settings.
1. Silencing the Inner Critic: We begin with a focus on freeing oneself from self-judgment and the judgment of others. I emphasize the importance of slowing down racing thoughts and acknowledging that worrying does not alter the past, nor does it change the future.
2. Perfectionism: I discuss the concept of perfectionism and how it is not only unattainable but also uninteresting. I suggest that audiences are drawn to authenticity rather than flawless performances. The idea is reinforced with examples, such as how mistakes can lead to valuable outcomes. Being human is inherently messy and striving for perfection often stems from past criticism and fear of judgment.
3. Cultural Obsession with Perfection: I discuss society's obsession with perfection, from social media selfies to curated appearances, and the stifling nature of this pursuit on creativity.
4. Authenticity in Legal Practice: I share personal insights from my experience in law, noting that imperfections in presentations can enhance authenticity and resonate more deeply with jurors. The lessons learned suggest that genuine emotion and real-life experiences are more impactful than polished performances.
5. The Power of Words: The significance of words is highlighted, particularly in the courtroom, where they can evoke strong emotions and influence the jury's perception. The balance between passion in advocacy and careful word choice is emphasized, as well as the necessity of being mindful of the energy and emotions conveyed through words.
6. Engaging the Jury: I discuss the dynamics of jury interaction, emphasizing that jurors desire a captivating experience and are often rooting for the lawyer to engage them. Strategies for empowering the jury and acknowledging their role in the courtroom are suggested to foster goodwill and enhance the overall trial experience.
7. Being Present: A significant portion of the presentation focuses on the importance of being present in the moment. Individuals spend a considerable part of their day lost in thoughts of the past or future, leading to stress and anxiety. I encourage mindfulness practices, such as meditation, to cultivate a non-judgmental mind and improve focus on the present.
8. Managing Thoughts and Expectations: Techniques for managing thoughts and expectations are discussed, including the idea of viewing thoughts as passing cars rather than allowing them to derail focus. The importance of setting realistic expectations and being adaptable in the face of objections during legal proceedings is highlighted.
9. Final Thoughts: I conclude with a call to embrace the present moment fully, suggesting that true freedom and spontaneity arise from engaging fully with life as it unfolds.
A New Framework for Implementing Business Entity Procurement in Public Privat...AHRP Law Firm
油
On January 14, 2025, the Indonesian Government enacted National Public Procurement Agency (NPPA) Regulation Number 1 of 2025 on Procurement Procedures for Public-Private Partnerships in Infrastructure Provision. This regulation consolidates and replaces previous frameworks (NPPA Regulation Number 19 of 2015 and NPPA Regulation Number 29 of 2018), aligning closely with Minister of National Development Planning Regulation Number 7 of 2023.
By integrating and streamlining existing regulations into a unified framework, this new regulation enhances clarity, efficiency, and transparency, reinforcing the governments commitment to fostering effective public-private collaborations for sustainable infrastructure growth. Find out more our insights about this topic in our Legal Brief publication.
Movement psychology is a branch of psychology that emerged in the early twentieth century
with the research of the Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung. The work was further developed by
Rudolph Laban, the architect of European Contemporary dance, and completed by a Swiss
dancer and actor named Yat Malmgren in the middle of the twentieth century.
Yat recognized that this would be a powerful tool for actors and went on to complete Labans
theory. He extended Labans ideas by creating a psychological typology which brings together
Laban and Stanislavsky. Inner motivation and outer expression are linked together leading to
The detailed and accurate construction of character.
Yat taught this work to scores of acting students at the Drama Center in London. His students
included Anthony Hopkins, Sean Connery, and Colin Firth to name a few. How is this work useful for lawyers? First and foremost, I believe that this work is enormously useful for storytellers, which is a crucial skill for lawyers when it comes to telling their clients story to a jury. Very simply, the lawyer must tell their clients story from the perspective of many different people (i.e., witnesses), none of whom are alike.
Practically speaking, this presentation could help litigation attorneys when it comes to cross-
examining witnesses by helping them to identify a witnesss inner attitudes and thus what
behavior would be most beneficial to adopt when it comes to questioning that witness in order to
elicit favorable testimony.
It can also be enormously helpful during jury selection as you will come to find out. This work is taught to law enforcement officials to aid in interrogating suspects and constructing profiles of potential suspects when leads are scarce. Its called, Movement Pattern Analysis. Thus, a collateral benefit is to put attorneys on a level playing field with law enforcement.
