Attorneys spend considerable time preparing for trial. You think through voir dire questions. You put together an opening. You outline your cross. You prep your witnesses. But how much time do you spend preparing yourself?

“I very much enjoyed listening to Beyond Trial Prep: How to Emotionally, Mentally and Physically Prepare for Trial. There is a vast amount of information in the market on various technical aspects of trial work, but there are few resources that address the practical aspects of the mental and physical strain of being in trial. Every trial lawyer who tries cases needs to be reminded to pay attention to the mental and physical burden that they will suffer at trial. Every trial lawyer who actually tries cases, loses cases. Mistakes made at trial are often caused not by a lack of preparation, but from mental and physical fatigue that may cause the lawyer to miss certain information or evidence.
No matter how well prepared the lawyer is, mistakes can happen as a result of mental or physical fatigue. Beyond TrialPrep provides valuable insight in preparing your mind and body to survive the rigors of trial with proper mental attitude and a plan to get adequate rest and nutrition. This audiobook prepares you to win, but also prepares you to handle losing and move forward better prepared for the next trial. The value of getting this information in an audiobook format cannot be overstated. Written books on communication cannot present important aspects such as tone and inflection as effectively as an audiobook. Beyond Trial Prep gives you the “how,” but more importantly it teaches you the “why.”
