Key takeaway from this interview with seasoned trial lawyer Rachel Cowen: pick the courtroom style that suits your personality and stick with it. "My style is to take complex facts and explain them to the jury in a way that’s easy to understand. I’m the 'explainer-in-chief.' And that builds trust with the jury because they believe I’m honest. That’s the approach that’s worked best for me." Read her full Q&A as part of McDermott's On the Stand series in the link below. #employmentlaw #triallawyer
